Kicker currently confirms reports from Fabrizio Romano and Sky Germany concerning a double transfer between Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea. The German magazine claims that Chelsea professionals Carney Chukwuemeka and Aarón Anselmino are en route to Dortmund via private jet. Both players should sign with the Bundesliga outfit shortly after their medicals are passed.
Dortmund’s double offer for both Premier League players has thus succeeded. The duo will cost die Schwarzgelben a combined €25 in transfer fees. Chukwuemeka will join BVB on a €20m transfer. Anselmino heads to his new club on loan without a purchase option. The Blues have nevertheless managed to secure a €5m loan fee.
Dortmund saw their 2025/26 Bundesliga campaign get off to a rough start via a 3-3 draw away at St. Pauli yesterday. Emergency starting centre-back Filippo Mané’s red card in the 85th-minute enabled Hamburg’s Kiezkicker to complete a late comeback from a 1-3 deficit. Anselmino looks to feature immediately in the injury-ravaged BVB defensive ranks.
