Chelsea Football Club is excited to announce the signing of Aaron Anselmino, a highly-rated 19-year-old defender, who has officially joined the club from Boca Juniors. The Blues have triggered a clause to bring Anselmino to Stamford Bridge ahead of schedule, ending his loan with the Argentine club.
Originally signed in August 2024 for a fee of £15 million, Anselmino was initially set to remain at Boca Juniors until the summer of 2025 to continue his development. However, Chelsea’s management has decided to accelerate his arrival to provide him with experience in European football as they aim to strengthen their defensive lineup.
Anselmino has shown great promise during his time at Boca Juniors, where he made his professional debut in June 2023 and scored his first senior goal in April 2024. Known for his strong defensive skills and ability to read the game, he is expected to make a significant impact as he integrates into Enzo Maresca’s squad.
The club is committed to supporting Anselmino’s development, and while he may initially join the first team, there are considerations for a potential loan to Strasbourg, Chelsea’s sister club in France, should opportunities arise.
Chelsea’s Director of Football expressed enthusiasm about Anselmino’s potential: “We are thrilled to welcome Aaron to Chelsea. His talent and determination align perfectly with our vision for the future. We believe he will thrive in our environment.” Anselmino’s arrival adds depth to Chelsea’s squad as they prepare for the second half of the season. Fans can look forward to seeing him in action soon as he embarks on this exciting new chapter of his career.
