German club Borussia Dortmund has openly expressed its intention to begin official negotiations with English club Chelsea to make the transfer of young Argentine defender Aaron Anselmio permanent.

Dortmund's sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, revealed that the club will contact Chelsea's management in the coming days, emphasizing the "very good relationship" between the two clubs and expressing hope that the player will remain with the team in the long term. This move reflects the club's confidence in the player's abilities, even though the current loan agreement does not include a purchase option.

Anselmio (19 years old) joined Borussia Dortmund last August on a one-season loan from Chelsea, with whom he has a long-term contract extending until 2031. Despite his recent arrival and young age, the Argentine defender quickly proved himself and became an integral part of the team's plans.

So far, Anselmo has participated in 8 official matches with Dortmund across various competitions, delivering performances that have caught attention and strengthened the German club's desire to keep him in the future.

In his most recent appearance with the team yesterday, Saturday, in the German Bundesliga, Anselmo delivered a strong performance and contributed to Dortmund's important 2-1 victory over their hosts Bayer Leverkusen.

The player's performance was praised by the coaching staff and the media, highlighting his growing importance to the team. This outstanding performance adds extra pressure on the club's management to succeed in their complex negotiations with Chelsea, which may not be willing to easily part with one of its promising talents.
