Borussia Dortmund also rejected a second offer from FC Chelsea for Jamie Gitten and finally exploded a change of player in front of the club World Cup. This was reported to « Sky » on Tuesday evening, although the Londoners again considerably increased their offers on the last day of the special transfer window before the tournament in the United States. Gittens will now go to the United States with BVB. A change after the club World Cup remains a problem.
A few days ago, black and yellow, which would have a complaint for 60 million euros, had already rejected a first offer of more than 35 million euros for the wing player a few days ago. New London proposal: 50 million euros. According to the journalist of « Telegraph » Matt Law, the Blues evaluated their own chances of obtaining the Dortmund contract with the Sholes. In fact, success also seems to fail; According to « Sky », Borussia quickly rejected the offer. Instead, the price presentation was now estimated at 65 million euros. Personally, Gitten with Chelsea would have agreed from a contract until 2032.
Even if the BVB and the Chelsea do not reach an agreement in front of the club World Cup – or in the special transfer window which ends Tuesday at 8 p.m., we can assume that it will then be tried further at the Stamford bridge in the regular transfer window of July. Finally, it was said that Chelsea would use the situation to play for a temporary time and press the price, because the blues should not necessarily plan to hire Gittens for the Club World Cup in the United States. BVB, on the other hand, needs money to continue building his team. On Tuesday, black and yellow confirmed Jobe Bellingham (19 years old) from AFC Sunderland for one of the highest replacement in the history of Dortmund transfer.
BVB goes to the club World Cup without Can and Özcan
Dortmund’s defensive players Emre Can and Salih Özcan will not go to the United States with the BVB team. Can fail with adductors’ problems and is supposed to complete its rehabilitation in Germany, « so that it is immediately when it comes to preparing for the Bundesliga », as the coach Niko Kovac explained on Tuesday.
Özcan recently injured in training with the Turkish national team and also did not fly to the United States. Short -term replacement bonds are not planned. On June 17, Borussia will play his first match at the club World Cup in New Jersey against Fluminense de Rio de Janeiro.
