Major poker earnings for Gittens exceed $ millions.
The fate of player Jamie Gittens hangs in the balance as Borussia Dortmund considers his future with the team. Despite Gittens's impressive performance in the Club World Cup, negotiations for his transfer to Chelsea have hit a roadblock.
The Failed Million-Dollar Woo: Chelsea's Aborted Bids
Multiple offers from Chelsea for Gittens have been rejected by Borussia Dortmund. The initial bids ranged from €35.5 million to a latest offer of €55 million, falling short of Dortmund's expectations for their add-on attacker [2][3].
The Holy Grail: Dortmund's Desired Value
Dortmund values Gittens at around €65 million, reflecting his crucial role in the team and his potential to further boost their offensive strength [3].
A Long-Term Commitment: Gittens and Chelsea
Behind the scenes, Gittens has already agreed to a long-term contract with Chelsea, potentially extending until 2032, should the transfer materialize [3].
The Ebb and Flow of Negotiations
Chelsea remains eager to recruit Gittens for their roster, viewing him as a valuable bolster to their attacking force [1][2]. However, Borussia Dortmund, with its eyes on transfer income, remains hesitant to part with Gittens for anything less than their desired fee. As Gittens travels with the team to the USA for the Club World Cup, discussions regarding his future are set to continue [3].
A Fresh Proposal: Chelsea's Next Move
In the coming days, Chelsea is expected to submit a redefined proposal for Gittens, signaling its perseverance in securing the coveted young player [1]. Furthermore, Manchester City, whose past connection with Gittens secures them a 10% cut of any future transfer fees, will likely keep a close eye on negotiations [2].
