Chelsea had signed Anselmino to a long-term contract last summer, and he has already gained first-league experience in his home country. Dortmund's CEO, Lars Ricken, explained that bringing Anselmino in was essential due to the injuries to Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Niklas Sule.
Dortmund's sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, has been following Anselmino since his time at Boca Juniors and believes he is a good solution to their current situation. Anselmino is expected to be integrated into the team quickly and could make his debut against Union Berlin on Sunday.
Anselmino will link up with Chukwuemeka, who made 10 league appearances and scored one goal for Dortmund last season. The young defender will face a great test as Dortmund aims for the Bundesliga title once again.
With Anselmino's arrival, Dortmund is looking to strengthen its defence and compete for the top spot in the league. The loan move is seen as a strategic decision to address the team's current needs and secure a competitive edge.
