BVB thriller around Gitten: Millions of transfer in the suspension!

Dortmund, Deutschland - Jamie Gitten, the talented Youngster from Borussia Dortmund, has been the focus of transfer rumors for months. According to Ruhr24, FC Chelsea and FC Arsenal are particularly interested in the 19-year-old. However, Gitten had a disappointing second half of the season in which he only scored one goal and was often used as a supplementary player under coach Niko Kovac.

BVB originally set the transfer for Gitten to 100 million euros, but an amount of over 60 million euros is now being sought. However, English clubs are only ready to pay almost 40 million euros. This difference could significantly impair the association's transfer plans, since sports director Sebastian Kehl is only available to another budget of 30 million euros, provided the team misses the knockout phase of the club world championship. This starts in two weeks and the first game of Dortmund will take place on June 17 against Fluminensee.

transfer market and market value

In the 2024/25 season, Gitten was able to score twelve goals in a total of 48 missions and prepare five more. Nevertheless, its current market value of Transfermarkt.de is estimated at 50 million euros, which is between the expectations of BVB and the assessments from England. An intensive drain poker will be expected in the coming weeks, while Gittens continue to focus on potential buyers.

The transfer market in global professional football is known for its dynamics, with the transfer period takes place every six months. Clubs can buy, sell or borrow players while the transfer fees vary greatly. Only a few clubs are able to issue three -digit million amounts; An example of this is Neymar's record transfer in 2017 when Paris St. Germain paid 222 million euros to FC Barcelona. In addition, Jhon Durán switched from Aston Villa to Al-Nassr in the 2024/2025 season for around 77 million euros, which underlines the growing financial power of Saudi Pro League, which has attracted numerous stars in recent years.

The Bundesliga in comparison

The 1st Bundesliga is one of the five strongest leagues in Europe, but in the 2024/2025 season the Bundesliga clubs had a transfer deficit, with the expenditure exceeding the income. FC Bayern Munich recorded the highest transfer expenditure with 149 million euros. Borussia Dortmund has carried out two record transfers with Ousmane Dembélé and Jude Bellingham in the past.

Although the Premier League is dominated by high marketing and strong investors-the expenditure for player transfers was here in the 2024/2025 season at around 2.8 billion euros-the transfer market in football is still dynamic. High expenses do not guarantee sporting success, which applies to both the Bundesliga and the Premier League, so that fans can look forward to exciting developments in the transfer game.
