Chelsea’s pursuit of Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens has been given a significant boost, with the German club reportedly willing to lower their asking price to £66.7m.
Gittens’ Impressive Season
The 20-year-old English winger has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 13 goals and providing five assists in 32 appearances across all competitions. His performances have caught the attention of Chelsea, who are keen to strengthen their attacking options.

Dortmund’s Desperate Situation
Borussia Dortmund’s disappointing season, which has left them 11th in the Bundesliga, has prompted the club to reconsider their valuation of Gittens. With the risk of missing out on European football, Dortmund may be forced to sell some of their prized assets to raise funds.
Triple Boost for Chelsea?
Chelsea’s interest in Gittens is not the only transfer link between the two clubs. The Blues are also reportedly eyeing Dortmund’s goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and attacker Karim Adeyemi.
With Dortmund’s willingness to sell, Chelsea may be able to secure a triple transfer coup.
Competition from Bayern Munich
However, Chelsea will face competition from Bayern Munich, who are also interested in signing Gittens.
The Bundesliga giants are expected to make a move for the English winger in the summer transfer window.
A Summer of Change at Dortmund?
With Dortmund’s struggles on the pitch, it’s likely to be a summer of change at the Signal Iduna Park.
Chelsea will be hoping to capitalize on the club’s desperation and secure the signings of Gittens, Kobel, and Adeyemi.
