Will Anselmino return to BVB? Not out of the question, but… | OneFootball

Aarón Anselmino is gone. FC Chelsea has recalled their 20-year-old loanee from Borussia Dortmund. The Bundesliga club's officials did not expect this – not now. They are reportedly "furious" about this action, according to the Bild newspaper. However, it is not ruled out that the central defender could return to BVB this winter.

Anselmino joined the Black and Yellows in the summer without much match practice. In London, the young Argentine struggled for a long time with a persistent thigh injury. He was out for a quarter of a year during the second half of the 2024/25 season. He only played once in a competitive match for the "Blues" after his arrival in January 2025. At the Club World Cup, he was given two minutes in the round of 16 against Benfica (4:1 after extra time).

In Dortmund, injuries also troubled him. Anselmino missed more than two months in total. Nevertheless, the defender made a strong impression during his appearances. He played ten matches for BVB, scored once, and also provided an assist.

The Westphalians would have liked to keep the 20-year-old until the end of this season. But suddenly, a recall came from the English capital. Anselmino had to pack his bags immediately. A few tears were even shed at his departure.

Jacquet to Chelsea Chance for BVB

At FC Chelsea, the central defender still has a contract until 2031. Whether he can assert himself against the star ensemble with Trevoh Chalobah (26), Wesley Fofana (25), and Benoît Badiashile (24) in the central defense is quite questionable. After all, Tosin Adarabioyo (28) and Levi Colwill (22) are long-term absentees.

According to a report by Sky Sport, the Premier League's fifth-placed team is also interested in Jeremy Jacquet (20) from Stade Rennes, who is supposed to join this winter. However, the French do not want to let their defender go.

If the officials decide to agree to a sale or Chelsea signs another defensive player, the door for another Anselmino loan could open. Then the Argentine could return to Dortmund as quickly as he left.
