The hunt for Boca Juniors’ new gem! Chelsea preparing nearly €13 million for Argentine wonderkid

London giants Chelsea have set their sights on another exciting South American talent and are developing a strategy to sign him.

Details: Chelsea are showing concrete interest in Boca Juniors’ promising midfielder Tomas Aranda and are considering a move for him at the beginning of 2027. According to Argentine outlet Crack Deportivo, the London giants are ready to pay up to €12.8 million for the 19-year-old midfielder.

If the transfer is successfully completed, the Blues plan to immediately loan the Argentine to French club Strasbourg, allowing the player to enjoy regular playing time in Ligue 1 and adapt to the pace of European football. However, Chelsea will face formidable competition, with Aston Villa, Inter, Como and Fiorentina also closely monitoring Aranda’s performances. Boca Juniors are in a strong position, as the player’s long-term contract runs until the end of 2029.

Tomas Aranda is regarded as one of the most gifted midfielders of the new generation of Argentine football, attracting scouts from European powerhouses with his exquisite technique, vision and ability to carry the ball into the final third. A potential move for the midfielder fits perfectly into Chelsea’s long-term project of systematically identifying and signing South America’s top young talents.
