Chelsea Lands £15m Defender Anselmino from Boca Juniors.
Chelsea has finalized the transfer of Boca Juniors defender Aaron Anselmino for £15.6 million.
The 19-year-old Aaron Anselmino has signed a seven-year contract with Chelsea but will stay on loan at Boca Juniors for the 2024-25 season. He made his Boca debut in June 2023 and has played 10 matches for them.
Anselmino extended his contract with Boca until 2028 in January 2024.
This summer, Chelsea has invested around £115 million in new players, including midfielders Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga, and Omari Kellyman, plus goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Caleb Wiley, winger Estevao Willian, and striker Marc Guiu.
They've recouped about £90 million from the sales of Ian Maatsen, Lewis Hall, and Omari Hutchinson, with Conor Gallagher likely to join Atletico Madrid for £33 million.
Chelsea is on the lookout for a new striker and has set its sights on Atletico Madrid's Samu Omorodion.
The Blues are eager to bolster their attack ahead of the 2024-25 Premier League season, which kicks off with a challenging match against reigning champions Manchester City on August 18.
