On-loan Chelsea star 'tells Premier League giants he wants to LEAVE in the summer' - despite the £35m-rated defender signing a new deal until 2026

Chelsea star Ian Maatsen has reportedly told the Premier League giants that he wants to join Borussia Dortmund on a permanent basis during the summer transfer window.

Maatsen was playing in the Championship with Burnley a year ago before returning to Chelsea and struggling for minutes under Mauricio Pochettino. As a result, he decided he to Germany on loan.

Maatsen - who signed a new deal at Stamford Bridge before departing for BVB - has been on fire for the Bundesliga giants this season, scoring his first-ever Champions League goal earlier this week.
