Chelsea have managed to beat Manchester United to the signing of Argentinian wonderkid.
Man United were reportedly conducting extensive scouting of Boca Juniors’ Aaron Anselmino before ahead of making an approach in the summer, with Chelsea also vying for the 19-year-old.
Chelsea have now defeated Man United and Newcastle to the signing, according to an exclusive from TBR Football.
The Red Devils have been brilliant with their transfer business so far this summer.
Man United have managed to sign striker Joshua Zirzkee while a move for defender Leny Yoro is close to being completed.
The club’s outgoings include Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial due to their contracts expiring at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Mason Greenwood is heading out of the club to join Marseille while Donny van de Beek and Willy Kambwala have moved to La Liga.
Everything has gone according to the plans so far this summer, however, with Chelsea winning the race to sign Anselmino, Man United have been dealt their first blow of the transfer window.
The London club agreed to a £17 million deal with add-ons and decided to loan him back to Boca until December, when the agreement will be reassessed.
The 6′ 2″ defender earned his first professional contract only months before he made his senior debut for Boca a little over a year ago.
Man United have other targets in mind
Chelsea have now activated the release clause in his contract and managed to win the race for his signature.
The 19-year-old will cost the Blues £17 million, and the team will soon make an announcement on his arrival.
Despite this setback in the transfer market, Man United have still done well and the club will now shift their focus to some sales before targeting Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt.
