DEspos ‘exit’ in European runner-up as Borussia Dortmund, Ian Matsen returned to the Premier League after half a year on loan in Germany… To sign for Aston Villa. Those from Emery spent about 45 million euros to Chelsea for the services of the fullback nerlands, who signs with the villains until 2030.
After not enjoying the opportunities in practice when returning to Chelsea after his offer in the year of his loan to Burnley from Vincent Kompany, Ian Matsen joined Borussia Dortmund on loan last January. From the first day he took office And along with the arrival of Jadon Sancho, he became one of the keys that led Terzic’s team to the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
At Signal Iduna Park, he played a total of 23 matches in which he managed to score three goals and distribute two assists This served to be selected by UEFA as the best left-back for the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League.
Everything seems to indicate that he will definitely stay at Borussia Dortmund. In fact, Sebastian Kiel has insisted on numerous occasions that they will do their best to deposit 35 million pounds of their correct item until July. However, Aston Villa applied to Borussen’s team for the services of the Champions Pavilion to face the next edition of the Champions League with guarantees.
“Ian adapted very quickly. In the end, it’s about money. A lot of money. Of course, we will try to make an effort. We will assess the situation as soon as the Champions League is over, ” Sebastian Kiel himself commented last March.
Taking advantage of the moment of chaos that Borussia Dortmund is going through, Aston Villa stepped forward and paid Chelsea about 45 million euros for Matsen. The amount is slightly higher than your mass. The reason may be the possibility of splitting the payment, since Aston Villa is completely mired in financial fair play. In principle, the negotiations of John Dorn between the two clubs have nothing to do with this process.
With the ability to enter to organize the game or break into space to exploit his impressive change of pace, Ian Matsen could become a dog on the sidelines of Villa Park under Unai Emery. It seems that the post is full of Lex Moreno and Denny. But the 22-year-old Matsen replenishes a key position to understand the vertical and aggressive game proposed by Unai Emery.
