‘Will hurt me the most’: Some Chelsea fans gutted as teenager will reportedly leave on loan with option to buy
Tino Anjorin is reportedly heading out the exit doors at Stamford Bridge before the summer transfer window shuts – and some Chelsea fans are not happy about the speculation.
BBC Sport reports on its deadline day transfer blog (9:17am, 31 August) that Russian top-flight club Lokomotiv Moscow are close to signing Anjorin on a season-long loan.
The 19-year-old will reportedly link up with Lokomotiv Moscow on a loan deal that includes a £17million option to buy. However, the Blues are inserting a buy-back clause in any deal, so he could return to the Bridge further down the line.
According to The Sun, the buy-back clause will be worth around £25million.
