Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea are deep in negotiations over a deal that could see two young prospects move in opposite directions. Talks have accelerated in recent days, with the Bundesliga giants particularly keen on securing the services of 20-year-old centre-back Aaron Anselmino.
The Argentine defender has been on Dortmund’s radar for some time, and the German side view him as an ideal addition to their long-term defensive plans. Softfootball understands that Dortmund are working on a package that would not only strengthen their backline but also align with Chelsea’s efforts to offload Carney Chukwuemeka on a permanent basis

The addtion of Anselmino to the chukwuemeka’s deal could prove to be the decisive factor in reaching an agreement between the two clubs. Chelsea are understood to be open to this arrangement, as it would not only secure permanent transfer for Chukwuemeka but also provide the Argentine youngster with valuable experience in Germany.
For Dortmund, the deal represents a win-win scenario , gaining depth in defence while also adding a technically gifted midfielder in Chukwuemeka, should negotiations reach a successful conclusion. Both clubs remain in close contact, and further developments are expected in the coming days.
