Shortly before the end of the transfer window, Borussia Dortmund apparently makes a transfer double pack perfect. “The Athletic” recently reported that Charlie Cresswell from FC Toulouse has also come into focus for central defense in addition to Chelseas Aarón Anselmino (20). Accordingly, BVB already submitted an offer for the 23-year-old. However, the efforts now seem to be successful in the first personnel – Anselmino.

BVB is interested in a loan of the young Argentine, it said. The central defender is said to come in a double pack with midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka (21), who, however, is firmly committed. According to Fabrizio Romano on Sunday, the Westphalia at Anselmino agreed with Chelsea with Chelsea without a purchase option – the blues expect Anselmino in 2026, its contract is dated in the long term until 2031. The BVB takes over the content of the defensive talent. Anselmino was signed by the Boca Juniors by the Londoners in 2024 for 16.5 million euros, and its market value will be estimated at 8 million euros.
BVB will soon also hire loan players Chukwuemeka from Chelsea
According to “Sky”, Borussia can shortly report enforcement at Chukwuemeka. Chelsea was therefore agreed on a permanent transfer of the recently borrowed professional. The overall package for both players costs 25 million euros. Chukwuemeka (17 BVB games over 383 minutes), like Anselmino, is expected to travel to Dortmund on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Dortmund offer for Cresswell is not said to have met the ideas of the Ligue-1 club Toulouse. What the black and yellow performed for a deal remained unclear. With a market value of 10 million euros, Cresswell is the second most valuable Toulouse professional and still has a contract until 2028. It was only last year that he had come to southern France for 4.5 million euros from his homeland of England from Leed’s United. In summer he became European champion with the English U21.
