Borussia Dortmund Close to Signing Carney Chukwuemeka and Aaron Anselmino

Borussia Dortmund is close to signing Carney Chukwuemeka and Aaron Anselmino. The club hopes to finalize the deals before Monday, strengthening their squad for a key period in the Bundesliga. According to reports, Dortmund is working to finalize deals for these Chelsea players.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Dortmund has agreed to pay €20 million, plus add-ons, for Chukwuemeka. Chelsea prefers this permanent move instead of another loan. The midfielder has had few chances at Chelsea, making only 14 appearances in the Premier League last season. He scored one goal and provided one assist. Chukwuemeka is already on loan at Dortmund, where he’s getting more minutes. He wants to stay in Germany, as per previous updates that he is pushing for a deal.

Meanwhile, Aaron Anselmino is ready to join Dortmund on loan from Chelsea after joining the Blues from Boca Juniors. This deal doesn’t include an option to buy. The 19-year-old center-back played in 12 matches in Argentina this season and is seen as one of Boca’s top prospects.

THE DORTMUND SITUATION

Dortmund was fourth in the Bundesliga. They are building a team that will hopefully perform better and finish higher this season. Dortmund open the league campaign against St Pauli, hoping for a winning start of the season. With the battle for Champions League spots so tight, new signings such as Chukwuemeka and Anselmino could be key in helping Dortmund keep Frankfurt at bay and catch up with Leipzig.

WHAT NEXT FOR DORTMUND AND THE NEW ARRIVALS?

If Dortmund completes the paperwork in time, Chukwuemeka and Anselmino could play against Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. The game is crucial for Dortmund’s Champions League chances. Chukwuemeka is likely to bring energy to the midfield, while Anselmino adds depth to the defense. Dortmund hopes these additions will boost them into the top three, securing Champions League football for next season. For Chelsea, selling Chukwuemeka provides funds to reinvest. The Blues will watch Anselmino’s development in Germany closely.
