Dortmund rejects Chelsea offer for Gitten-drama for talent!

Dortmund, Deutschland - The transfer talks between Borussia Dortmund and FC Chelsea around the talented wing player Jamie Gitten are on the brink. Dortmund rejected a recent offer of 50 million euros for the 20-year-old because the club demands a sum between 60 and 70 million euros for Gitten. This reports op-online .

Chelsea already made two offers last week. The first, which was around £ 35 million, and the second over 42 million euros plus possible bonus payments, both were rejected. Dortmund sees itself through the commitments of Daniel Svensson, Yan Couto and Jobe Bellingham under financial pressure, which also complicated the negotiations around Gitten.

status of the transfer

Jaime Gitten has already agreed personal contractual terms with Chelsea until 2032. But his move to the British club in front of the FIFA club World Cup will not take place, as the special transfer window closes on Tuesday evening. Instead, he will travel to the USA with Dortmund to take part in the Club World Cup. However, a transfer after the tournament remains a current topic and could be considered again on July 1 if the regular transfer window opens. In addition, Dortmund increased its price to 65 million euros, such as Gitten showed promising services in the 2024/25 season so far, scored five goals and was able to contribute four templates in 15 league games. Nevertheless, he often played a subordinate role under coach Niko Kovač, which reinforces Dortmund's considerations to sell his services. It is reported that Gitten's club management is talented, but assessed a limited extent in terms of its performance on the pitch.

The financial situation of Borussia Dortmund is tense because the club is suffering from a transfer deficit this season, while the expenses in European football overall remain immensely. The expenses of the Premier League were around 2.8 billion euros in the 2024/2025 season, which gives the clubs there to acquire large financial freedom to acquire players. In this context it becomes clear that Borussia Dortmund could restore his financial balance through a possible sale of Gitten. A sale could also free funds for further investments in the squad after having signed Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland. These are important aspects in one of the financially strongest leagues in Europe, as the Statista announced.

Although no deal comes about before the special transfer window is completed, the situation around Jamie Gitten remains exciting and it can be assumed that Chelsea is still interested in an agreement to integrate the talent of the young player into their ranks as quickly as possible.
