Chelsea star Ian Maatsen has reportedly told the Premier League giants that he wants to join Borussia Dortmund on a permanent basis during the summer transfer window.
Maatsen was playing in the Championship with Burnley a year ago before returning to Chelsea and struggling for minutes under Mauricio Pochettino. As a result, he decided he to Germany on loan.
Maatsen - who signed a new deal at Stamford Bridge before departing for BVB - has been on fire for the Bundesliga giants this season, scoring his first-ever Champions League goal earlier this week.
Speaking after Dortmund's 4-2 victory over Atletico Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final tie, Maatsen said he would like to stay in Germany - claiming he feels 'very comfortable' at his loan club.
'I always believed [I could] play for Chelsea but unfortunately for some reason it didn't work out how it should've,' Maatsen told CBS Sports after the game on Tuesday night.
