Overview

• Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea FC are in early negotiations over a potential swap deal involving Jamie Gittens and Carney Chukwuemeka.
• Dortmund is demanding at least €60 million for Gittens, while planning to trigger Chukwuemeka’s €30–35 million buy option to secure his permanent transfer.
• Chelsea views Gittens, a Bundesliga leader in dribbles this season, as a key target to bolster their offensive options following struggles in that area.
• The deal aligns with Chelsea’s need to generate revenue to comply with Financial Fairplay and Dortmund’s reliance on Champions League income for financial stability.
• No formal offers have been made yet, but discussions involve high-level executives and intermediaries from both clubs.
