Bodigo reported that in order to buy Gittens, Chelsea had submitted a 42 million euro offer to Dortmund, but was rejected by Dortmund.
Dotter said that their asking price for Gittens is 70 million euros. The club believes that if Chelsea wants to sign the young winger before the upcoming Club World Cup, they will have to pay more than €50 million. The special transfer window for the
Club World Cup will be closed on June 10, so time is tight. If Chelsea wins the event, they will earn more than 100 million euros, which makes Dortmund hope to take advantage of the opportunity to obtain higher transfer fees.
It is reported that Gittens has reached a contract with Chelsea until 2032, with an annual salary of 6.5 million euros, almost twice his experience in Dortmund. Currently, Chelsea is preparing for the next offer to complete the deal before the transfer window of the Club World Cup is closed.
20-year-old forward Gittens, this season, represents Dortmund in 48 appearances in various competitions, scored 12 goals and contributed 3 assists. His contract with Dortmund expires in the summer of 2028, and currently the price of Germany is 50 million euros.
