Chelsea and Liverpool in battle for Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens
Chelsea and Liverpool I've been doing it in first divisionalthough it is fair to say that the Reds now have a significant lead at the top of that table and should ideally seal the title at the end of the season. The bluesMeanwhile, they look comfortable finishing in the top four, something they would be happy with given their young and inexperienced squad.
Both clubs will be looking for a number of players in the summer despite being on track to have good seasons and a common target for both Chelsea and Liverpool is Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens. The 20-year-old has lit up the Bundesliga in recent months and is another excellent talent to emerge from Signal Iduna Park.
Fabrizio Romano (h/t TEAMtalk) reported that the Premier League giants remain in the battle for Jamie Gittens and a summer transfer has emerged as a real possibility. According to the source, Dortmund are resigned to losing the forward sooner rather than later and have consequently already started searching for a replacement.
Chelsea can take the lead
Liverpool's interest in a winger is not a surprise Mohamed SalahLuis Díaz has also been linked with his departure from the club. The Reds will undoubtedly be attracted to what Jamie Gittens offers, but they are unlikely to break the bank for him.
However, it is doubtful they will engage in a bidding war for the striker as Arne Slot is also expected to sign a pair of defenders and a defensive midfielder.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have spent freely in recent years and there are no signs that this pattern will end anytime soon. Despite spending a huge sum on the acquisition of Joao Felix and Pedro Neto, as well as being forced to complete a transfer for Jadon Sancho in the summer, they will make a financial exercise if necessary to land Jamie Gittens.
That said, the Blues may not expect to spend as much as they did on, for example, Neto, as Gittens The valuation on Transfermarkt is just £30m. At the moment. And while that's no indicator of Borussia Dortmund's demands, it's hard to imagine the Germans asking for much more since the player in question hasn't been around for more than a couple of years.
