7M - Chelsea's Jacquet Pursuit May Pave Way for Anselmino's Dortmund Return

Chelsea have abruptly recalled Argentine defender Aaron Anselmino from his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund. The sudden move has left the German club short of defensive cover, but reports suggest a potential pathway exists for Anselmino to return to BVB in the near future.

According to Sky Germany, Anselmino's situation is indirectly tied to Chelsea's pursuit of 20 year old Stade Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet. The Premier League side are actively negotiating for the Frenchman, though Rennes have so far resisted the transfer request—prompting Chelsea's hasty recall of Anselmino as a precautionary measure.

With Jacquet's contract entering its final stages, Rennes may prefer to secure a January sale rather than risk a diminished valuation in the summer transfer window. Should Chelsea successfully complete the Jacquet acquisition, the financial equation could justify sending Anselmino back to Dortmund for the remainder of the season.

While speculative, the scenario presents a plausible resolution: Jacquet fills Chelsea's defensive need while Anselmino resumes his development at Signal Iduna Park. Neither club has officially commented on the potential arrangement.
