The offer is 50 million pounds! Post: Chelsea is close to signing 20-year-old Gittens, and is expected to offer Dortmund again
The Post reported that Chelsea is about to reach an agreement with Dortmund for signing 20-year-old England player Gittens, but he will not be added to Chelsea's Club World Cup roster.
Negotiations between the two sides are still in progress, after Chelsea's £42 million offer was rejected by Dortmund, who insisted on asking for a price of £50 million, and Chelsea is expected to make another offer.
According to FIFA regulations, a player cannot play for both clubs in the same game, and Dortmund has given Gittens 13 minutes of substitute time against Fruminense.
Chelsea's goal this summer is to find cost-effective players in the transfer market, which they believe Gittens meets that criteria and is believed to have reached a seven-year personal contract clause with him.
If this deal cannot be completed, Manchester United's Garnacho and Lyon's Fofana remain alternatives for Chelsea's winger position.
