Chelsea set to bring Jamie Gittens back to England with lucrative offer amid growing discontent at Dortmund

‎Chelsea are reportedly keen on bringing young forward Jamie Gittens back to English football, as the club targets a move for the Borussia Dortmund star. The England Under-21 international, who is under contract at Signal Iduna Park until 2028, has been making waves in the Bundesliga, but recent developments suggest that his future may lie elsewhere. Gittens’ growing dissatisfaction with his reduced role under Dortmund's coach Niko Kovac has led to speculation about a potential transfer, with several top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham, also monitoring the situation.

‎According to a report from Sky Sport Germany, Chelsea have officially shown interest in Gittens, who has accumulated 12 goals across all competitions this season. However, despite his strong performances, the 20-year-old has not started a Bundesliga match since early March. His only recent start came in the first leg of Dortmund’s Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona, where his potential was on full display. With his future uncertain, Chelsea has reportedly made an attractive offer, one that could be hard for Gittens to resist.

‎

‎The Blues are ready to pay Gittens a salary in the region of €6-7 million per season, significantly more than the €3 million he currently earns at Dortmund. Such an increase, coupled with a reported transfer fee of between €50 million (£43 million/$57 million) and €60 million (£51 million/$68 million), would likely prompt Dortmund to consider negotiations. The German club’s ability to retain the player may depend on their qualification for next season’s Champions League, which looks increasingly uncertain. With only four games remaining in the season, Dortmund are four points behind fourth-placed RB Leipzig, and their hopes of securing a top-four finish could hinge on whether they can reverse their current form.

‎

‎Chelsea, meanwhile, will be watching closely as Dortmund’s season plays out. If Gittens finds himself excluded from the starting lineup in upcoming fixtures, it could signal that the young forward is increasingly unhappy with his role, thereby accelerating his move to the Premier League. The Blues are also reportedly preparing to make their offer in the summer transfer window, should Gittens' situation at Dortmund remain unresolved.

‎

‎As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Jamie Gittens and his next move, as Chelsea are prepared to offer a competitive salary to lure the young forward back to England. Whether Dortmund can convince the player to stay could depend on the club's performance in their final league games and whether they can secure Champions League football for next season. SA
