Chelsea has made an initial offer of 42m [35.5m] for Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens, which was rejected. Dortmund's demand has now risen to 70m [59m]. Gittens expressed a desire to leave this summer, which adds urgency to Chelsea’s attempts to secure him before the Club World Cup, as the transfer window closes on June 10. Chelsea is prepared to revise their offer, as they are in need of strengthening their forward line following Jadon Sancho's return to Manchester United.
Chelsea will have to pay above Gittens' estimated market value of 50m [42.1m] to bring the player to London before the Club World Cup.
There is clear time pressure as the provisional window is set to close on Tuesday June 10, with Chelsea keen to finalize the signing of Gittens.
Dortmund rejected Chelsea's first offer of 42m [35.5m] and are demanding 70m [59m] for Jamie Gittens.
Gittens has informed BVB that he wants to leave this summer, indicating a strong desire for a Premier League move.
