Chelsea show interest in Argentinian forward

The BlueCo consortium, which owns Chelsea and Strasbourg, has set its sights on Boca Juniors forward Thomas Aranda.

The 19-year-old Argentinian joined the club in January 2026 and currently has a contract that extends until the end of 2029.

Aranda has already made one appearance for the Argentinian national team, and his market value is estimated at around €9 million by Transfermarkt.

In the 2025/2026 season, the forward played 23 matches across all domestic competitions, scoring two goals and providing three assists.

However, Chelsea are likely to face stiff competition for the young talent, with London rivals Arsenal and clubs like Parma and Fiorentina also reportedly weighing up a move.
