That’s true: Dortmund rejected Chelsea’s first offer to Jamie Gittens ahead of the interim window deadline.
The Bruce hopes to secure a Bundesliga winger this summer as part of their efforts to revamp their forward line.
They are certainly encouraged in this process, and Gitens informed BVB that he wanted to leave this summer.
It is also understood that Enzo Maresca’s subordinates are in discussion with Hugo Echicicke’s camp. However, Frankfurt is stuck with the Frenchman’s valuation of 100 million euros (£84.3 million).
Chelsea wants to sign Jamie Gittens before the Club World Cup
There is a clear time pressure. The provisional window is set to close on Tuesday, June 10th (reopens on Monday, June 16th).
Dortmund rejected the initial offer from Chelsea of 42 million euros (£35.5 million) and is currently demanding 700 million euros (£59 million).
The Stamford Bridge-based outfit is not thwarted by this opening retreat. Chelsea wants to have players in time for their upcoming Club World Cup campaign, so we understand that they are already preparing their next offer.
This is especially looming for Chelsea, considering the available roster of the Wingers is lighter with Jadon Sancho’s enforced return to Manchester United.
The Gitens want Premier League moves
It is worth pointing out that to bring players to London before the Club World Cup, Chelsea must pay more than 50 million euros (£42.1 million) of the Gitens estimated market value.
A special transfer window for teams participating in the tournament will end on Tuesday, June 10th at 7pm. As a result, there is serious time pressure on the Premier League. This is because by that point players must have signed their respective clubs.
The club can also receive prominent prizes of more than 100 million euros (£84.3 million), which presents a challenge to Chelsea recruiting teams. if They win the Club World Cup.
Naturally, Borussia Dortmund wants to use this.

The forward reportedly wins sal 6.5 million euros (£5.4 million) per year. This is doubled for him in his current year (£2.9 million) at Dortmund (€3.5 million (£2.9 million)).
