Chelsea and Marseille Negotiate Loan Deal for Promising Defender Aaron Anselmino
According to reliable sources, Chelsea and Marseille have come to terms on a potential loan transfer for young center-back Aaron Anselmino. The 19-year-old Argentine defender, who joined Chelsea last summer on a long-term contract, spent the first half of the current season on loan at Boca Juniors before being recalled by the London club in January.
Marseille, seeking to strengthen their defensive options following the termination of Lilian Brassier’s loan, have turned their attention to Anselmino. However, the completion of this loan deal is not yet guaranteed, as it hinges on Chelsea’s management of their available loan spots and potential deadline day transfers.
While both clubs have agreed on the terms of the loan, Chelsea’s transfer activity leading up to the deadline could impact the final decision on Anselmino’s immediate future. The Blues are reportedly considering various options as the transfer window nears its close.
This potential move represents an opportunity for Anselmino to gain valuable experience in a top European league, while also providing Marseille with a talented young defender to bolster their squad for the remainder of the season.
