Maatsen almost left Chelsea last summer, when Burnley had a £31.5m offer accepted on deadline day to sign him after a successful season on loan there, but the Dutchman decided to stay 1. Chelsea accepted the offer from Burnley, but Maatsen did not want to make the move 1. The Blues are likely to be open to selling the 21-year-old in the summer as they look to comply with Financial Fair Play rules after heavy investment in the last three transfer windows 1.

This loan move to Borussia Dortmund could be a great opportunity for Maatsen to gain more playing time and experience in a new environment. Dortmund is currently in the top half of the Bundesliga table and is known for its attacking style of play. It will be interesting to see how Maatsen adapts to the new team and league.
