Borussia Dortmund are weighing up a summer move for highly-rated Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong, according to reports from England.
The 19-year-old, who has impressed at youth level, is believed to be open to leaving Stamford Bridge in search of regular first-team football.
The English Independent reports that Dortmund have made initial contact and are now assessing the chances of a transfer. Acheampong, known for his versatility across the backline, is seen as a top prospect in Chelsea’s ranks, but his pathway into the senior squad remains unclear.
Despite being tied down by a long-term deal, Dortmund have entered the picture as serious contenders for his signature.
Chelsea have previously rejected loan offers for the defender, but The Independent suggests a deal could now be possible, especially in light of the club’s financial position. With growing pressure to meet Premier League financial fair play (PSR) regulations, a sale in the region of £35 million (€41 million) could be on the table.
Acheampong’s next step remains uncertain, but Dortmund’s interest signals a bold attempt to add youthful energy to their defensive unit.
