News about Ian Maatsen

Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund host Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tonight. PSG are the 13/10 favourites with Sky Bet to secure victory and take a lead into the home leg, while Dortmund are 9/5 outsiders to beat Kylian Mbappe and Co. If you're predicting tonight's leg to end in a draw, that result is garnering odds of 11/4.

Ian Maatsen's father has confirmed the full back wants to complete a permanent move to Borussia Dortmund this summer, while accusing Chelsea's owners of putting money above the club's interests. Maatsen completed a loan move to the Bundesliga side in January in search of more game time, after playing for less than 400 minutes in 15 appearances for Chelsea. The Dutch full back has established himself as Dortmund first choice left back, while playing a key role in helping the team advance to the Champions League semi-finals.

Borussia Dortmund's advance to the final four of this season's Champions League is an unexpected boost to Manchester United's FFP situation. The German side progressed to the semi-finals after defeating Atletico Madrid 5-4 on aggregate on Tuesday night, and now face PSG for a place in the final at Wembley. However, it is also good news for the financial situation at Man United, and new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, as the club will receive a hefty knock-on bonus as a result of Dortmund's good fortune.

Sancho started both legs of Borussia Dortmund's quarter-final tie against Atletico Madrid over the last fortnight, playing a key role as his side got the better of their Spanish opponents over the two games. Going into Tuesday's home leg trailing, Edin Terzic's side overturned the 2-1 deficit to go through 5-4 on aggregate having won 5-4 on the night in Germany. Chelsea loanee Ian Maatsen and former Manchester United midfielder Marcel Sabitzer were among those on the score sheet.

Questions were raised when Ian Maatsen was sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund and now the Chelsea talent is showing his parent club what they are missing as he stars in Germany. Maatsen is on-loan at the Bundesliga giants until the end of the season and signed a new deal at Stamford Bridge before departing for Germany that keeps him at the club until 2026. But his recent impressive performances raise the question as to why he was allowed to leave in the first place.

Brandt had given his kit to the wheelchair user but the other fan stole it and took off and was chased by another supporter. Dortmund beat Atletico 4-2 at home to overcome a 2-1 deficit from the first leg and qualify for the Champions League semi-finals. Brandt opened the scoring before goals from Ian Maatsen, Niclas Fullkrug, and Marcel Sabitzer helped deliver Dortmund to the last four for the first time since 2012/13.

Ian Maatsen sent a not-so-subtle message to Chelsea after scoring his first Champions League goal to help Borussia Dortmund reach the semi-finals for the first time in over a decade. Maatsen was playing in the Championship with Burnley a year ago and headed to Chelsea convinced he would get an opportunity to prove his quality for the Blues this season. Overlooked by Mauricio Pochettino and sent out on loan to Dortmund, Maatsen has been a revelation in Germany, capping off his 'amazing' night by reaching a Champions League semi-final.

After a whirlwind evening at the Signal Iduna Park, Borussia Dortmund booked themselves into the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in a decade. The German trailed 2-1 heading into the tie but quickly flipped the game on it's head after first-half strikes from Julian Brandt and Ian Maatsen.  Following a triple substitution by Diego Simeone at the interval, Atletico hit back with Angel Correa and a Mats Hummels own-goal to shock the home crowd.

Atletico Madrid earned a 2-1 lead over Borussia Dortmund after surviving a late scare in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Diego Simeone's side had a dream start against their Bundesliga opponents with Rodrigo de Paul seizing on a loose pass from Ian Maatsen to give the hosts a fourth minute lead.  A rattled Dortmund were punished for another defensive error after a mix-up between Mats Hummels and Nico Sclotterbeck, with Samuel Lino finishing after a fine Antonie Griezmann pass.

Chelsea's net income by selling ten players with the Blues could reach a dramatic peak this summer as they continue to comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Guidelines (PSR). In the first full year under Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital's ownership, the club reported a tax loss of £90.1 million last week. Chelsea FC Holdings Limited's accounts showed the loss for the 12-month cycle until June 30, 2023.

KIERAN GILL: Chelsea's opponents are planning on putting their reputation for pricing players out of play this summer, claiming that they are now in a situation where they must sell in order to beat the Premier League's financial rules. The Blues are well-known for triggering a tough competition by slapping steep valuations on their stars, but rumors are that no sales are required until the next transfer window opens. Chelsea insiders insist that this is not the truth, adding that they are on track to be compliant with the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Laws. Nevertheless, the club's accounts for the year ended June 30, 2023, a pre-tax loss of £90.1 million. That came after a loss of £121.4 million the previous year.

Borussia Dortmund has announced a joint venture with PRIME, the hydration drink created by YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul. Jadon Sancho, Ian Maatsen, and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens appear in a video in which the club revealed the energy drink. Since being launched in January 2022, PRIME has quickly become one of the world's most popular drinks, with fans in some areas even waiting outside supermarkets overnight in the hopes of getting their hands on a bottle.

In Dortmund's Bundesliga match against Darmstadt on Saturday evening, Jadon Sancho is starting on the bench. Following differences with United boss Erik Ten Hag, Sancho completed a move to a club he called 'home' this week. Since returning to Darmstadt on loan from Manchester United, the 23-year-old winger joined the team.

Maatsen, who will continue to Stamford Bridge until 2026, played well last season, but after returning to his parent club, he had a difficult time in games. Maatsen has now been sent to Germany for more game time after making 15 appearances this year, despite having less than 400 minutes under his belt. Chelsea's previous deals were supposed to come to an end in 2025. On Tuesday, Maatsen, 21, jetted out and underwent his medical treatment the following day.

The Bundesliga side will pay a £2 million loan fee, while Maatsen will have a medical on Wednesday. The 21-year-old left-back's Chelsea contract will last until 2027, putting the club in a better bargaining position over a permanent sale in the summer, although the latest agreement does not appear to contain a release clause. While the Blues will be thrilled to give Maatsen, a player who has appeared in 12 times in the Premier League, some regular playing time, they will first have to deal with their current loanees as per FIFA rules. To eliminate talent hoarding, clubs are only allowed to loan out seven players around the world at any one time.

Chelsea has been hit with a loan blunder ahead of Ian Maatsen's possible transfer to Borussia Dortmund this season. According to rumors, the Blues have reached a verbal deal over a loan agreement for Ian Maatsen that will join the German outfit this month. Maatsen, who spent last season on loan with Burnley, will fly to Germany on Tuesday for his medical, which they hope will take place within 48 hours.

Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea have reached a verbal deal over Ian Maatsen's loan agreement. The left-back is expected to return to Germany on Tuesday for his medical visit, which is also on Wednesday. Maatsen rejected a permanent move to Burnley in the summer after assisting the Clarets in winning promotion to the Premier League while on loan last season.

Todd Boehly posed for photographs at Stamford Bridge in the 2024 Golden Globes, a world away from the director's box. Chelsea's co-controlling owner, Eldridge Industries, the holding company that owns Dick Clark Productions, is the show's chief executive.

SIMON JONES: Conor Gallagher is more than content to stay at Chelsea this season. Chelsea has no doubt that this month needs a striker and left-back, but they are struggling to cover such changes within profit and sustainability guidelines, so selling a homegrown product gives them a definite profit and greater freedom to wheel and deal. They also want to sell Ian Maatsen and Trevoh Chalobah this month, but Borussia Dortmund also has the ability to sell a loan to left-back Maatsen is not appropriate.

SIMON JONES: Chelsea have received a formal loan proposal from Borussia Dortmund for left-back Ian Maatsen, but the terms have yet to be agreed on. Chelsea lost £31.5 million from Burnley in the summer, and Mauricio Pochettino's opportunities this season have been limited. Chelsea has been trying to raise funds by selling him, but a loan is now available with the promise to buy.

BY MATT HUGHES: Charlie Taylor, a Burnley defender, has been declared bankrupt due to outstanding bills. Turf Moor's 30-year-old left-back, who makes $30,000-a-week, is thought to have been issued with a bankruptcy order last year and is in the process of having it annulled. Taylor refused to comment, but Mail Sport has learned that the missed payments were due to an administrative mistake rather than any significant financial difficulties or a deliberate effort to avoid paying. The debt has since been settled, and a request has been made to the High Court for the bankruptcy to be annulled, which is close to being granted.

Borussia Dortmund is apparently closing in on the loan signings of Manchester United's Jadon Sancho and Chelsea's Ian Maatsen, who are both looking for more game time. Sancho is hoping to join the team in Marbella next week as discussions regarding a six-month loan continue. Dortmund has paid Sancho back to the club, where he was a fan favorite from 2017 to 2021 before his £73 million transfer to Old Trafford.

Clubs have always been a tough month to run, but teams will continue to develop their squads this year. Donny van de Beek out on loan to Frankfurt, and Jadon Sancho is expected to be the next forgotten celebrity to join him. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Newcastle are all expected to improve their squads this month as they look to bring an end to the season. On Wednesday morning, Mail Sport gives you a recap of all the latest transfer rumors and gossip.
