Bayern Munich hijack Chelsea's transfer move for £51m forward
Chelsea have encountered another hurdle in their bid to sign Jamie Gittens, with Bayern Munich joining the race for the wantaway Borussia Dortmund attacker. Gittens reportedly agreed personal terms with Chelsea before BVB's Club World Cup campaign got underway earlier this month and the 20-year-old has been eager to push through a move to Stamford Bridge. But the Blues have failed with two separate offers for Gittens and Dortmund are refusing to be bullied by the Europa Conference League winners as talks rumble on between the clubs. Determined to get their man having already landed Liam Delap, Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr, the west London giants are expected to return with a third offer for Gittens in due course. But according to German publication Kicker, Bayern are preparing to ramp up their pursuit of Gittens as they grow increasingly resigned to their top target, Nico Williams, joining Barcelona.

Athletic Bilbao and Spain sensation Williams is said to favour a switch to the Camp Nou which has forced the German champions to explore other possible avenues, leading them to Gittens. It's claimed the Dortmund and England Under-21 winger is now firmly onBayern's 'radar' and initial negotiations have begun between the two Bundesliga rivals with a view to hashing out a possible deal. The report adds that BVB would be willing to part with Gittens should they receive an offer in the region of €60million (£51m) this summer – and a bidding war could break out between Bayern and Chelsea. AC Milan's Rafael Leao, Liverpool's Cody Gakpo, Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola and Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma also find themselves on Bayern's shortlist of attacking targets Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl had been expected to stay with Vincent Kompany's squad for the duration of the Club World Cup in the United States – but the German 'unexpectedly' left the tournament to attend to the club's transfer business two days ago. Gittens' current contract with Dortmund runs through to June 2028. 'We've had one or two conversations with Jamie in the last few days,' BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl told reporters when asked for an update on Gittens' situation after the club's goalless draw with Fluminense. 'He's professional enough to know that he has to perform. That's part of his nature. 'Jamie will still be very important for us in this tournament. We'll see what happens after that. 'But I don't have a negative opinion of him.' More Trending Before Chelsea's Club World Cup campaign began, Enzo Maresca confirmed the club were in the market for a new winger to fill the void left by Jadon Sancho. 'Jadon is not with us so for sure that is a position [winger] we need to do something,' the Chelsea head coach told explained. 'We have Noni [Madueke], Pedro [Neto] and Ty [George] only as the proper wingers so something for sure is going to happen. 'When the transfer window is open, for sure, we can do something.'

Chelsea are ‘in Talks' to Sign £42m Bundesliga Forward
According to a report from Sky Germany, Chelsea have entered early discussions regarding a potential summer swoop for Borussia Dortmund starlet Jamie Gittens. The 20-year-old winger, who once shone brightly in the Bundesliga, now finds himself on the fringes under Niko Kovac's leadership. After a dazzling first half of the season — 'seven goals & four assists' — Gittens' form has dipped, leading to a loss of his starting berth. Sky Germany revealed that 'initial talks are already underway between those responsible' at Dortmund and Chelsea. The Blues are eager to bring the England youth international back to his homeland, highlighting their enduring commitment to nurturing young English talents. It's no secret that the lack of consistent game time has fuelled Gittens' growing dissatisfaction. As Sky put it, 'the lack of playing time also contributes to the fact that Gittens is not completely satisfied with his overall situation in Dortmund.' Despite five years at the club, the player is now reportedly open to taking 'the next step.' Chelsea, sitting sixth in the Premier League, are well-positioned to capitalise on Gittens' restlessness. They are believed to be offering an attractive salary package — reportedly between six and seven million euros annually — significantly improving on his current three million euros wage at Dortmund. Sky also confirmed, 'Chelsea is already in an exchange with the player side to sound out the chances of a possible transfer,' signalling serious intent from the London club. While Dortmund may not wish to lose such a promising talent, their position is pragmatic. As per Sky Germany, 'with a corresponding offer of between 50 and 60 million euros, Dortmund would be willing to talk.' This valuation reflects both Gittens' potential and his contractual security — he remains tied to Dortmund until 2028. Notably, he has already amassed '102 professional appearances, in which he contributed 17 goals and twelve assists,' underscoring his steady development from Manchester City youth ranks to Bundesliga prominence. However, the Bundesliga giants are not giving up lightly. There have been internal discussions between Gittens' camp and BVB chief Lars Ricken regarding his future, suggesting that 'a stay is not ruled out either' if no satisfactory offers materialise. Gittens represents a profile Chelsea are increasingly drawn to: quick, technically astute, fearless in one-vs-one situations, and hungry for growth. His familiarity with English football culture, stemming from his Manchester City upbringing, would make the transition smoother than for many Bundesliga exports. Chelsea's rebuild under Enzo Maresca demands energetic, versatile forwards who can adapt tactically. Gittens fits the bill perfectly, and crucially, he embodies the long-term project the club is so keen to nurture. With several first-team attackers' futures uncertain, a move for the Dortmund winger would be both a strategic and emotional win for Chelsea fans eager to see more homegrown talent light up Stamford Bridge. As passionate Chelsea supporters, this news couldn't be more thrilling. Jamie Gittens would be an outstanding addition to Enzo Maresca's new-look side. Imagine a front line filled with youthful energy, creative flair, and raw ambition — Gittens feels like a player who could embody that vision. His record at Dortmund, especially at such a young age, shows resilience and talent. It's easy to get excited about his pace, directness, and ability to create something out of nothing. In Maresca's possession-based system, Gittens' explosiveness could be the X-factor, unlocking defences and linking beautifully with the likes of Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke. The potential deal, even at a hefty €60 million, feels like a necessary investment. With the likes of Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk yet to fully cement their places, Gittens could easily make a starting spot his own in a matter of months. A true 'back to the Bridge' story for a young Englishman who deserves the spotlight. In short — bring him home, Todd Boehly. Bring him home.

Arsenal learn price tag for unstoppable' Borussia Dortmund forward
Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens. The Gunners failed to add any new players in the winter transfer window, but they are expected to be active this summer. Arsenal are impressed with the England Under-21 international who has emerged as a top talent in Europe this season. The 'unstoppable' 20-year-old has scored 11 goals and created five assists in 33 appearances across all competitions this term. However, the Londoners will have to fork out a premium fee to sign him. According to BILD, Dortmund will demand a fee in the region of £83 million for their prized asset. Gittens' current contract does not expire until 2028, which means the Bundesliga giants are in a good negotiating position. Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in the winger, but a move to Arsenal might be more appealing for Gittens. They will likely be able to offer him Champions League football as they are now six points above Nottingham Forest in second place in the table. The Gunners are competing with Liverpool for the Premier League title this term. Meanwhile, Tottenham are languishing in 12th in the standings, despite Sunday's 1-0 win over Manchester United. Chelsea made an impressive start to the campaign under Enzo Maresca, but their form has dipped in recent months. Given their patchy form, they may finish outside the top four this season. Stats from
