Unfortunately, the offer submitted is still a little far from the value of Anselmino’s release clause which is at 20 million euros. However, negotiations between the two clubs are still ongoing and Chelsea also feels confident that they can immediately bring the central defender to Stamford Bridge.
Aaron Anselmino is currently only 19 years old, he was successfully promoted to the Boca Juniors main squad in June 2023. The player who can also be used as a defensive midfielder played in five matches in the 2023/24 season.
Aaron Anselimino will certainly not be the last player to be brought in by Chelsea, the latest news states that the club is also interested in recruiting Marc Guiu from Barcelona and is currently in negotiations to recruit Jonathan David from Lille.
