Jamie Gitten stays with BVB - Chelsea gives the change cancellation!

Dortmund, Deutschland - Jamie Gitten remains loyal to Borussia Dortmund. Sports director Sebastian Kehl announced that BVB rejected an offer from Chelsea for the young striker on June 10th. Chelsea had offered 50 million euros plus 5 million euros in bonuses. However, Dortmund demands more than 60 million euros to make a change. Kehl described the conversations as respectful, although both sides have different ideas about the value of the player. The special transfer window for the club World Cup, which was closed on June 10th, plays a decisive role in this situation.

Overall, BVB refused to Chelsea. The first offer of over 35 million euros has already been rejected after Chelsea raises its second offer to 50 million euros. Even a third offer of over 55 million euros did not find the necessary. Dortmund's price presentation for Gitten is now 65 million euros. However, it should be noted that the player personally has already agreed with Chelsea on a contract until 2032, which makes the negotiations more complicated.

preparation for the club World Cup

Regardless of the transfer rumors, Gitten is expected to travel to the United States with his team to the club World Cup. Here Dortmund will play his first game on June 17 against Fluminense from Rio de Janeiro. In the meantime, BVB will have to do without important players: Emre Can and Salih Özcan Reisen not with the team because Can suffers from adductor problems and Özcan injured the Turkish national team. Dortmund is currently not planning short -term obligations as a replacement.

In the Bundesliga season 2024/25, Borussia Dortmund is one of the teams with a total market value of 477.90 million euros and an average player age of 25.1 years, as the current market data show. This financial situation could also have an impact on decision making with regard to Gitten, since Dortmund needs money to further strengthen the squad. Jobe Bellingham was recently signed by the AFC Sunderland, and this happened to one of the highest replacement in club history.
