Hot Goss: Chelsea's Bid for Dortmund's Young Gun Gittens Hits a Snag
Offer Extended by Chelsea to Borussia Dortmund for Gittens' Transfer - Borussia Dortmund receives an offer from Chelsea for midfielder Gittens
Things haven't been going smoothly for Chelsea in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund's 20-year-old phenom, Jamie Gittens. Despite throwing around some hefty sums, like €35 million and €55 million, Dortmund's asking price of at least €50 million still seems to be sticking in Chelsea's craw. Seems like they're haggling like a bunch of bargain bin shoppers, trying to pinch those pennies.
But it ain't all bad news for Gittens, as he's already sorted out his terms with Chelsea, with a seven-year contract until 2032. Well, that's a long-term investment, isn't it? Gittens just can't wait to join the action, with his sights set on playing in the upcoming Club World Cup in the States. But, unless Chelsea can close the deal before the registration deadline, Gittens might be left out in the cold.
Now, with the clock ticking and the deadline looming, Chelsea's scrambling to snag some alternative targets. Alejandro Garnacho's looking like a possible Plan B, but that move might not cost much and could be a quicker fix. If they can't get Gittens, Chelsea's gonna have to adjust their squad strategies on the fly.
Here's to hoping these bigwigs can sort things out before the deadline so we can see some fresh blood on the pitch!
