Olympique Marseille have an agreement in place with Chelsea to sign their defensive sensation Aaron Anselmino on loan.
While Chelsea are looking at ways to strengthen their team before the end of the deadline day, they also have to make a few major decisions in terms of departures. Aaron Anselmino has been linked with a move away, and Olympique Marseille are within touching distance of his signature.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Marseille and Chelsea have agreed terms regarding a loan move for Anselmino. While all parties have reached a common ground, the deadline day loan move depends on how the Blues decide to manage the loan spots.
Aaron Anselmino came up the ranks at Boca Juniors, and he made quite a name for himself on his way up. He got promoted to their first team at the start of 2024 and just six months later, Chelsea struck a deal with the Argentine club to sign him on a permanent basis.
The West London outfit decided to let him stay at Boca Juniors until the end of the year. Anselmino made the move to Stamford Bridge at the start of the new year. While the 19-year-old centre-back is quite highly rated by the decision-makers at Stamford Bridge, he is unlikely to have enough game time this season.
Will Marseille secure Anselmino’s services?
Multiple clubs have been looking to prise Aaron Anselmino away from Chelsea before the end of the winter transfer window. The Blues are ready to let him leave on a straightforward loan deal as a move away will only help the Argentine youth international’s development as a player.
Olympique Marseille are looking to add more depth to their backline, and they are interested in the services of Anselmino. The Ligue 1 giants have been working on a potential loan deal in recent weeks. They already had an agreement in place with the 19-year-old, and Les Phoceens have now struck a deal with Chelsea.
The Blues might have agreed on a loan deal with the Ligue 1 outfit, but the move depends on how they decide to manage their loan spots. Chelsea still have a decision to make on which player to send out on loan. As a result, Anselmino’s future might be resolved in the final hours of the window.
