Chelsea wanted to send Aaron Anselmino on loan to Olympique Marseille. An agreement had already been reached between the two clubs. However, Chelsea needed to address some administrative issues regarding the number of players loaned abroad before finalizing the move.

Olympique Marseille is in the pole position to acquire Aaron Anselmino and is already negotiating the loan terms with FC Chelsea. The 19-year-old Argentine defender, who joined Chelsea from Boca Juniors for 16.5 million euros last summer, was initially loaned back to Buenos Aires until January. Despite interest from Borussia Dortmund, who ultimately decided against pursuing him, Marseille is moving forward with the negotiations to secure his services.
