Dortmund are nearing a deal with Chelsea for young talent

Chelsea's young talent Ian Maatsen is on the verge of joining Borussia Dortmund on loan from for the remainder of the season.

Last summer, the Dutchman, despite Burnley's £31.5m offer, opted to stay at Stamford Bridge after a successful loan spell. Despite Chelsea's injury concerns, Maatsen has seen limited Premier League action under Mauricio Pochettino, having started only one game.

Dortmund will pay a £2m loan fee, and as part of the deal, the young player has extended his contract with Chelsea for two more years, now lasting until 2027. This new agreement includes a release clause, with Chelsea hoping that Maatsen's playing time at Dortmund will boost his market value for a potential summer transfer.

In their January transfer pursuits, the Bundesliga giants have prioritized a left-back and a winger, and they are close to finalizing a loan deal for Manchester United's Jadon Sancho. Sancho had initially moved from Dortmund to United in July 2021 for an initial fee of £73m.
