The centre-back is on the verge of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-gbp17m-transfer-boca-juniors-wonderkid-aaron-anselmino-loan/bltb1070cc36ad97dab" target="_blank">joining the Stamford Bridge club in a £17 million ($22m) transfer</a> from Argentine giants Boca. However, he will have to fly to the USA to get the deal over the line, according to <a href="https://x.com/marcosbonocore/status/1816543249215205449" target="_blank">Marcos Bonocore,</a> as the Blues are in Atlanta, Georgia to continue their pre-season preparations.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The 19-year-old will be one of the most expensive sales in Boca Juniors history when he completes the move. Even though he will undergo his medical and sign a contract in the United States, Anselmino is expected to return to Boca on loan.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Anselmino came through the Boca youth academy to make his senior debut in June 2023. He has only made 10 appearances for Diego Martinez's team, but has shown enough promise to convince Chelsea to snap him up.

DID YOU KNOW?

After Anselmino completes his move to Chelsea, he will likely head back to Argentina to resume the current campaign with Boca. The Premier League side, meanwhile, will continue preparing for their friendly against Celtic on Saturday.
