This is true: Dortmund rejected the first Chelsea offer for Jamie Gittens before the provisional deadline of the window.
The blues hope to secure the Bundesliga winger in the context of efforts to reorganize their line before this summer.
They were certainly encouraged in this process, Gittens having informed BVB that he wanted to leave this summer.
The men of Enzo Maresca would also be in talks with the Hugo Ekitike camp. However, Frankfurt is firm on their 100 million euros [£84.3m] Evaluation of French.
Chelsea wants to sign Jamie Gittens before the Club World Cup
There is clear time pressure – the provisional window is expected to close on Tuesday, June 10 (reopening on Monday June 16).
Dortmund rejected a first offer of 42 million euros [£35.5m] from Chelsea and now requests 70 million euros [£59m].
The Stamford Bridge -based outfit will not be dissuaded by this opening reverse. We understand that Chelsea is already preparing its next offer, because they are eager to bring the player on board for their next club world club campaign.
This is particularly pressing for Chelsea, since their list of available wingers has become lighter with the applied return from Jadon Sancho to Manchester United.
Gittens wants a move in the Premier League
It should be noted that Chelsea will have to pay above the estimated market value of gittens of 50 million euros [£42.1m] To bring the player to London before the club World Cup.

The special transfer window for teams participating in the tournament ends on Tuesday June 10 at 7 p.m. There is therefore a strong time pressure for the Premier League team, because the players participating in the competition must be under contract with their respective clubs at this stage.
This presents an enigma for the Chelsea recruitment team, because the club could also receive a significant cash prize of more than 100 million euros [£84.3m] if They win the club World Cup.
Naturally, Borussia Dortmund wants to take advantage of it.
Did Gittens obtain personal conditions with Chelsea?
Jamie Gittens and Chelsea would have already agreed with a contract until 2032.
The attacker would earn an annual salary of 6.5 million euros [£5.4m] – almost double what it is currently in Dortmund (€ 3.5 million [£2.9m]).
