Borussia Dortmund’s director, Sebastian Kehl, has confirmed that the club’s deal to sign defender Ian Maatsen from Chelsea will be a straightforward loan agreement. According to Kehl, the two clubs could not reach an agreement on an option to make the transfer permanent.
Maatsen’s loan move to Dortmund will see the Dutch defender switch from the Premier League to the Bundesliga, albeit temporarily, as there will be no option for Dortmund to purchase the player at the end of the loan period. This information was disclosed by Kehl in a statement to @RNBVB.
