Overview

  • Carney Chukwuemeka is set for a permanent move to Borussia Dortmund for about £24m/€25m, with add-ons and a sell-on clause reported.
  • Aaron Anselmino is expected to join Dortmund on a straight loan with no option or obligation to buy.
  • Both players have been permitted to travel for medicals scheduled for Monday, with final confirmation pending.
  • The departures continue Chelsea's clear-out, with reported sales income reaching £273.4m this summer, the highest among Premier League clubs.
  • Chukwuemeka has had limited appearances at Chelsea due to injuries, while Anselmino is regarded as a longer-term prospect gaining experience and offering short-term cover for Dortmund's injury-hit defense.
