Fabrizio Romano confirms £60m player wants to join Chelsea

Chelsea had a busy special transfer window leading up to the Club World Cup. The second one will begin in just three days and the Blues are expected to continue making moves, both in terms of signings and departures. They have already made their first acquisition, sealing a £30 million deal with Ipswich Town for Liam Delap. But they still need more reinforcements, including a centre-back, a right-footed winger, and possibly another striker

Although now Delap has joined, acquiring a left winger is Chelsea's top priority, especially following Jadon Sancho's departure. And the Blues seem to have a clear target in mind.

Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens has been a priority target for the Blues, and they were eager to add him to Enzo Maresca's squad before the Club World Cup. They made multiple late offers to sign him, but failed to reach an agreement with the Bundesliga club for the time being.

However, Fabrizio Roman has claimed that Chelsea are ready to resume talks with Dortmund for Gittens. They could present a new offer in the coming days.

According to the report, Dortmund wanted a £60 million fee to let the player go to Chelsea prior to the Club World Cup. This could be the reason why the deal could not be reached, as the Blues may not have been willing to pay such a high price for a player who had lost his place in the starting XI towards the end of the 24/25 season.
