Gittens, who left Manchester City’s training ground for the Dortmund Stadium two summers ago, seems close to signing a whooping seven-year contract with Chelsea, stretching up till 2032!
As per some buzz from Sky TV and the 'WAZ', Chelsea has reportedly put an offer of around €35 million on the table for the young winger. But, Borussia Dortmund isn't about to sell their cherished asset at that price. They're aiming to get at least €50 million as the transfer fee! It sounds like the two clubs are in a tense stalemate, with Chelsea attempting to milk time off the negotiations to lower the price.
Don’t hold your breath for Gittens to join the Chelsea family in time for the upcoming Club World Cup in the US. Looks like the Blues aren’t in much of a rush to finalize this deal during this window.

In light of the ongoing negotiations, it's worth noting that if Jamie Gittens were to switch teams, he might find himself participating in community policy discussions, considering he'd be moving from the Bundesliga to the Premier League, England's top-tier football league. And, given his exceptional talent as a winger, one might imagine him slotting into Chelsea's squad alongside other promising young players, perhaps even training under the guidance of vocational trainers who've coached in European-leagues, such as the Premier League. However, it remains uncertain if laughter will soon echo within the Chelsea dressing room, as the club and Borussia Dortmund continue their standoff over the multi-million-euro transfer fee for the coveted player.
