Chelsea and Bayern Munich set their sights on Borussia Dortmund’s rising star.
Chelsea and Bayern Munich Target Jamie Gittens: Borussia Dortmund’s High Price Tag
Jamie Gittens, Borussia Dortmund’s 20-year-old forward, has emerged as a top target for both Chelsea and Bayern Munich, but Borussia Dortmund is reportedly firm on its price tag. The German club is said to expect offers of at least €80m (£66.7m) for the talented youngster, with the possibility of the price rising to €100m (£83.4m) depending on the interested parties.
Gittens’ Impressive Development at Dortmund

Gittens, who made the decision to leave Manchester City for regular first-team football, has seen his career flourish at Dortmund. With 11 goals in 34 appearances across all competitions this season, he has become a key player for Dortmund, despite the club’s struggles in the 2024/25 Bundesliga campaign. Dortmund is currently mid-table in the league but has made significant progress in the Champions League, winning their first knockout tie against Sporting CP 3-0.
Could Gittens Be Sold This Summer?
While Gittens became a subject of intense transfer speculation during the January window, Dortmund did not entertain the idea of a mid-season sale. However, reports suggest that Dortmund could be forced to sell Gittens in the summer to balance their finances, especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League next season. This could lead to a bidding war between top clubs like Chelsea and Bayern Munich, both of whom are interested in bolstering their attacking options.
What Does the Future Hold for Gittens?
With Chelsea having links to Gittens due to his time at their academy, the Blues could make a move to strengthen their attacking lineup, especially after signing Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho last summer. Bayern Munich, known for strengthening their squad with top talent from domestic rivals, also remains a strong contender for Gittens’ signature.
