Done deal: BVB reportedly seal double transfer | OneFootball

Two new additions from FC Chelsea are set to immediately strengthen Borussia Dortmund: Carney Chukwuemeka is a permanent transfer, while Aarón Anselmino is coming on loan. Both players are expected to arrive in Dortmund on Sunday.

Borussia Dortmund has apparently sealed a double transfer from FC Chelsea. According to Sky and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, central defender Aarón Anselmino and midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka will be playing for the Black and Yellows in the future.

Chukwuemeka, 21 years old, was already on loan in Dortmund last season and scored one goal in 17 official matches. The Englishman comes from the youth team of Aston Villa and transferred to Chelsea in 2022 for 18 million euros, where he scored two goals and one assist in 32 official matches and won the Conference League with the club. He is now being signed permanently, for the total package BVB is transferring 25 million euros to Chelsea according to Sky. The Londoners have secured a sell-on clause in the deal.

Central defender Anselmino, 20 years old and from Argentina, is initially joining on loan without an option to buy. Dortmund will take over the full salary of the defender.

Double Transfer: BVB acquires Chukwuemeka and Anselmino from FC Chelsea

The youngster had only transferred to Chelsea from Boca Juniors in January for 16.5 million euros, but was unable to establish himself there. His only appearance for the Blues was a brief substitution in the Club World Cup in the summer, where he played two minutes and won the title.

The signings come at the right time for BVB, as the defense is currently heavily battered. Nico Schlotterbeck and Niklas Süle are out for a longer period. Filippo Mane is missing after a red card in the home game against Union Berlin. Anselmino is therefore being thrown into the deep end and is expected to fill the gap in the defense.

According to Sky, both players are expected to travel to Dortmund together on Sunday to sign their contracts. With these transfers, sporting director Sebastian Kehl has closed the biggest gaps in the squad. This all happens shortly before the end of the transfer window on September 1, and with relatively low risk for the club.
