Bustin' a Move: Gittens Set for Chelsea as Dortmund Cash In
Deal struck: Gittens en route to join Chelsea FC - Agreement Reached: Gittens Heads to FC Chelsea
Hey there, footy fans! Get ready to mark your calendars as things are heatin' up at the transfer market. It's been confirmed that Borussia Dortmund’s wing whiz, Jamie Gittens, is headed to FC Chelsea!
Rumors have been swirling for quite some time now, but it's official—the BVB and the Blues have locked in a deal. Although the specifics of the transfer fee haven't been disclosed, Dortmund had been adamant about securing around 65 million euros for their young talent. Previous offers from Chelsea had fallen short, but recent negotiations have convinced them to cough up the dough.
Gittens is set to undergo his medical examination with the English squad on Saturday, just in time for their Round of 16 match against Benfica Lisbon in Charlotte (local time). Talk about timing!
You may recall that there were murmurs about Gittens joining FC Bayern Munich, but the 20-year-old winger had his heart set on the bright lights (and possibly bigger paydays) of London. Reports indicate that Gittens and Chelsea have already agreed to terms sometime ago. ⚽️💥
In a bittersweet twist, Gittens' illness kept him out of the action during Dortmund's recent U.S. tour. But fret not, Chelsea is aiming to reward him with a contract extension lasting until 2032. Now that's a long-term commitment right there! 🤝💥
On a side note, Dortmund's previous transfer involving another 20-year-old, Youssoufa Moukoko, took a different turn. Moukoko, who failed to carve out a niche for himself amidst the BVB's fierce competition and was loaned out to Nice, is now headed to FC Copenhagen. Dortmund will supposedly bank around five million euros for Moukoko's transfer, which is a significant downgrade from what they sought for Gittens.
So, there you have it folks! Experiencing a bit of transfer whiplash, but that's just the roller coaster world of football for ya. Stay tuned for more updates on the wild transfer market rampage! 🚨💥🏆
