Chelsea defender Aaron Anselmino has been linked with a move away from the West London club since arriving from Boca Juniors.
Ligue 1 giants Marseille have agreed on terms with Aaron Anselmino regarding a loan move, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal across the line.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the deal depends on Chelsea and the loan spots available. The West London club are now expected to make a decision on which player they want to send out on loan this month. The report further states that Chelsea will not include any purchase option in the deal.
Aaron Anselmino is highly rated in South America, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. Regular football at Marseille could help him improve further and develop as a footballer. He is unlikely to get regular game time at Chelsea, and leaving the club on loan would be ideal for him.
There is no doubt that he has the quality to develop into an important player for Chelsea in the long run. However, the youngster needs to focus on his development with regular football now. It is no surprise that Chelsea are unwilling to include a buy option in his loan deal. They clearly value him as a future prospect. If he manages to impress during his loan spell in France, he might be able to force his way into the starting lineup next season.
Anselmino will look to make his mark at Marseille
The 19-year-old Chelsea wonderkid will look to succeed with Marseille if the move goes through. Ideally, Chelsea should look to send Aaron Anselmino out on loan so that he can continue his development with regular football. Sitting on the bench at Chelsea is unlikely to benefit him. He is a prodigious talent and the Blues must focus on his development.
The Ligue 1 outfit are in need of defensive reinforcements, and it will be interesting to see if the South American can hit the ground running and improve them defensively. The 19-year-old will be desperate to hold down a regular starting spot in Ligue 1.
