This Chelsea player wants to leave the club in the Summer

Ahead of the upcoming transfer window, a Chelsea player has decided to separate sentiments from his future as he eyes a permanent move away from West-London.

Reports emerge indicating that Chelsea’s rising star, Ian Maatsen, has communicated his intention to join Borussia Dortmund on a permanent basis during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The 19-year-old left-back, currently on loan at Dortmund since January, has reportedly been a standout performer for the German side, solidifying his desire for a long-term commitment with the club.

Maatsen’s impact was underscored this week when he netted his debut Champions League goal against Atletico Madrid, contributing significantly to Dortmund’s advancement to the semi-finals. This achievement has only reinforced the sentiments among Chelsea supporters, urging the club to retain Maatsen’s services.

Initially eyeing a breakthrough at Chelsea, Maatsen’s aspirations have evolved, with Dortmund now emerging as his preferred destination. Sources suggest that the Dutchman feels “very comfortable” at his loan club, signaling a desire for continuity and stability in his career trajectory.

With a release clause reportedly valued between €35-40 million, Maatsen’s potential permanent move to Dortmund adds an intriguing dimension to the summer transfer market. His trajectory includes a loan spell at Burnley last season, further enriching his experience and development as a promising talent.
