In Dortmund, Jamie Gitten has matured into a star in recent years. His time at BVB could now end. Does it go back home?
Does Jamie Gitten go away from Borussia Dortmund? The Englishman, whose contract at BVB is still running until 2028, could turn their back on the “black and yellow” after the season.
Although he is the third best scorer of the team in the league (eight goals, three assists), Gittens has lost his regular place under coach Niko Kovač, no longer plays as much as in the first half of the season under ex-coach Nuri Şahin. Most recently, he was only substituted three times in the Bundesliga. The Pay TV broadcaster Sky had already reported that the offensive man would think about a change. Because: Gitten should not be completely satisfied with his current situation.
Now, according to Sky, there is apparently an association that is very specific for Gitten’s: Chelsea FC. The Londoners believe that a talented English player, like Gittens, has to play in the Premier League, it is said. According to the report, Chelsea is already in exchange with the group of the 20-year-old. In order to make the change tasty, the “blues” apparently offer him an annual salary of six to seven million euros – and thus more than twice as much as he deserves in Dortmund.
Exciting: the BVB would probably negotiate a departure of Gitten, writes Sky. Prerequisite: Chelsea’s offer for a transfer is between 50 and 60 million euros. However, remaining is also possible – especially if there is no suitable offer for Gitten. Most recently, BVB boss Lars also shaked up with the professional. His future and development should also have been an issue.
Meanwhile, the Causa Gitten could be extremely interesting in connection with another transfer. Should Chelsea be serious in advertising around the English U21 international, the Personalie Carney Chukwuemeka at BVB will become very hot. The midfielder, currently awarded from Chelsea to Dortmund, could then be permanently obliged. The “picture” already reports on a possible exchange of the two stars. However, since the Dortmund purchase option for Chukwuemeka is only 30 million euros, FC Chelsea would have to transfer an additional sum to the Bundesliga clubs in return.
