Chelsea, Napoli, and Dortmund interest in Tomás Aranda

Overview

Chelsea FC continues to monitor Boca Juniors attacking midfielder Tomás Aranda, with a potential transfer estimated between $15 million and $20 million in early 2027. Following his recovery from a fibula fracture, Chelsea may purchase the 19-year-old and subsequently loan him to RC Strasbourg in France to facilitate his development, a strategy similar to the model used for Aaron Anselmino.

Competition for the Argentine talent is intensifying. Napoli is reportedly monitoring Aranda as a long-term investment, noting his significant profile in Argentina. However, Napoli faces competition from Premier League clubs Arsenal and Chelsea. Other clubs observing the midfielder include Inter Milan, Fiorentina, Aston Villa, and Como 1907.

Borussia Dortmund has also entered the fray, with reports indicating the club may prepare an offer for early 2027. Aranda’s profile has been further elevated by his inclusion among the “top ten young prospects” named by Lionel Messi.

A significant obstacle for interested parties is Aranda’s release clause, which Boca Juniors reportedly values at approximately 20 million euros and is unwilling to discount. Aranda is currently undergoing rehabilitation and is not expected to return to competitive play until 2027.
