Gittens is currently earning £2.5 million per year, but Chelsea is willing to double his salary if he joins the team. This significant increase in wages is a strong incentive for Gittens to consider the move.
Gittens is a highly rated player, valued at £80 million by his club. However, Dortmund is reportedly open to selling him for a lower price of £35-45 million. This could be a more achievable target for Chelsea, who are keen to add Gittens to their squad.
Other Premier League club, Tottenham, is also keeping an eye on Gittens' situation. There is reportedly tension between Gittens and Dortmund's coach, Niko Kovac, which may influence Gittens' decision to leave the club. Gittens has a contract with Dortmund until 2028.
