Borussia Dortmund is reportedly interested in keeping Ian Maatsen in their squad beyond this season. A successful loan spell away from Chelsea has helped the Dutch star reach his best form.<\/p>\n
Maatsen started only three games for Chelsea this season before securing a loan move to Borussia Dortmund in January. Despite joining the German side mid-campaign, the 22-year-old has quickly integrated into Edin Terzic\u2019s plans, becoming a crucial part of his side\u2019s defensive setup.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman\u2019s loan deal at Signal Iduna Park expires at the end of the term but it seems the Bundesliga giants are willing to keep him beyond his current contract.<\/p>\n Since leaving Chelsea in January, Maatsen has developed into a regular starter at Dortmund, making 18 appearances for the Black and Yellows across all competitions.<\/p>\n According to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>, the Dutchman has a similar situation to Jadon Sancho. Both players have enjoyed impressive form since arriving at Dortmund on mid-season loans, and the club\u2019s hierarchy is willing to keep both of them. Maatsen, who is said to be \u201cvery happy\u201d under Edin Terzic, has a \u00a335 million release clause in his Chelsea contract.<\/p>\n Maatsen’s father has confirmed reports about his son’s desire to stay with Dortmund, telling<\/a> Voetbal International: “We are working on staying here. Things are not going well at Chelsea since the change of ownership.<\/p>\n “We’re happy at BVB, it’s a good place to be.”<\/p>\n With Chelsea being destined to miss out on European football next season, Dortmund might be a more attractive option for Maatsen to continue his career.<\/p>\nLatest Update From Fabrizio Romano<\/h3>\n
