Chelsea Open Talks with Borussia Dortmund's £50m Arsenal and Liverpool Target
- Chelsea opened talks with Borussia Dortmund in June 2025 to sign 20-year-old England Under-21 winger Jamie Gittens before the Club World Cup.
- Chelsea’s interest follows a previous enquiry in January and aims to strengthen wide attacking options after a season with mid-term discontent and late success.
- Gittens, who spent time in Chelsea’s youth setup and joined Dortmund in 2020, scored 12 goals in 48 appearances but lost his starting place mid-season after a managerial change.
- His release clause stands near £50 million, with reports noting Chelsea also face a £5 million penalty if they back out of their obligation to buy loanee Jadon Sancho for £20–25 million.
- If signed, Gittens would provide Enzo Maresca with a wide option to supply outlets and could signal reduced chances for Sancho amid competition from Arsenal and Liverpool.
