German media Biography reported that all negotiations between Gittens and Chelsea had been made, but the Blues had not met Dortmund's requirements in terms of transfer fees. The report said that everything has been negotiated between the 20-year-old winger and Chelsea, but Dortmund is still unwilling to nod because Chelsea's offer is still too low for them. Therefore, the deal was not finalized before the Club World Cup, and Gittens went to the United States with Dortmund.
Nevertheless, it is unlikely that Chelsea will give up easily. But now, they may welcome competitors: According to "Kickers", the English winger is now one of the target candidates for Bundesliga giants Bayern.
It is reported that Bayern has contacted the players. Gittens hopes to leave Dortmund anyway, especially because he lost his main position under coach Kovac.
For Bayern, the progress in the transfer market this summer is not going well: first, Werz chose to join Liverpool, and now Nico also tends to transfer to Barcelona. Bayern Sports Director Eberdeen urgently needs to find a replacement.
Will Bayern bid against Chelsea? The report said that Dortmund's asking price for Gittens is at least 65 million euros, while Chelsea's latest offer is 55 million euros. So if Chelsea raises its offer, Bayern must also keep up.
In addition, it is reported that Chelsea has issued a seven-year contract for Gittens with an annual salary of 6.5 million euros. The player's annual salary at Dortmund is 3.5 million euros.
At present, Eber has returned to Munich from the United States, and his purpose is to accelerate the search for a new offensive player. In addition to Gittens, AC Milan's Leo and Paris Saint-Germain's Barcola are also popular targets for Bayern.
