  • Borussia Dortmund winger primed for summer departure

    Borussia Dortmund winger primed for summer departure


    Just like Jude Bellingham before him, Jamie Gittens is a young English talent who has yet to reach his best form. With drastic improvements from season to season, it’s no wonder the twenty-year-old has become a hot prospect in Europe. The fact that he’s English makes him especially appealing to English Premier League clubs.

    According to renowned sports journalist Patrick Berger, Borussia Dortmund is ready to cash in on their prized asset this summer. This sale could muster a bountiful transfer fee to fund the obvious rebuild Borussia Dortmund needs. It’s unsurprising, given the circumstances.

    The only players BVB has who would command a transfer fee of 50 million Euros are Gregor Kobel, Karim Adeyemi, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Jamie Gittens. With the club preferring Kobel between the sticks, Schlotterbeck transforming into a club leader, and Karim Adeyemi’s decision to stay at the club this winter, the most apparent sale-for-profit this summer is Jamie Gittens.

    While there was a time when Dortmund demanded 100+ million euros, Goal.com reports the Black and Yellows have lowered their expectations, while Arsenal and Chelsea are said to have been given an 80-million-euro price tag in their pursuit.

    Since joining Borussia Dortmund as a teenager, Jamie Gittens has scored sixteen goals across ninety-four appearances, with an additional eleven goals across nineteen games for the U19s. Just this season, Gitten has played in twenty-four matches, scoring seven and assisting three. He’s become known for his skilled footwork and wing play.

    While Gittens may not demand the 120 million euros that Jude Bellingham was sold for to Real Madrid, Gittens remains a talented winger who will get better over the next several years, especially as he fills out and becomes a more physical player. He’ll be an investment and asset wherever he goes.

  • Borussia Dortmund expect Jamie Gittens to leave in the summer

    Borussia Dortmund expect Jamie Gittens to leave in the summer


    Despite his recent poor form, Dortmund have accepted that Gittens will likely leave the club at the end of the season, Die Schwarzgelben will also be in a poor negotiating position with the winger’s future club if they fail to qualify for the Champions League or Europa League and will be forced to sell him.

    Dormtund had originally hoped to sell Gittens for €100m but that price tag is now considered unrealistic.

    Where the 20-year-old goes is yet to be seen. The Premier League is said to be Gittens’ dream destination but there are no offers from England yet with previous interest from Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea. While Bayern Munich are also interested in the winger and are hoping that the price for Gittens will drop to €60-70m if Dortmund fail to qualify for Europe.

    This season, Gittens has 11 goals and three assists in 36 appearances, but after a fast start to the season, he has now gone 11 games without a goal or assist.

  • Borussia Dortmund could complelty reset the club in the summer

    Borussia Dortmund could complelty reset the club in the summer


    Sport Bild reports that Borussia Dortmund could look to completely reset the club in the summer if things continue on their current trend.

    If the club misses out on Champions League football this season, which is a real possibility with Dortmund currently sitting in 11th in the Bundesliga, several scenarios could arise.

    Everything will depend on Hans-Joachim Watzke, who is looking to leave his role at the club and gain election as the club’s president. If he postpones his decision to leave to focus on fixing the current situation which he created, the current structure at the club could collapse.

    However, if there is no success, Watzke will be forced to make changes, whether that be hiring another director of sports to replace Ricken or doing it himself. Both Markus Krösche and Ralf Rangnick are names that are being discussed when it comes to replacements. The former has a reputation as being able to sell players for large fees, which appeals to Dortmund, while the latter could completely overhaul the structure at the club.

    On the pitch, there is uncertainty as well. Despite Niko Kovac having a contract at the club until 2026, he could still be fired if Dortmund’s season is a failure. Die Schwarzgelben are also currently planning their squad for next season under several different scenarios.
