Jamie Gittens ‘agrees' to join Chelsea as transfer offer submitted
Jamie Gittens looks set to join Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window after reportedly agreeing terms with the Premier League club. The 20-year-old was on top of the Blues' three-man shortlist for a new left winger, which included Alejandro Garnacho and Nico Williams. Advertisement The move comes after Chelsea decided not to sign Jadon Sancho on a permanent deal from Manchester United and while uncertainty reigns over Mikhailo Mudryk's future. Gittens 'agrees' to join Chelsea as transfer offer submitted Chelsea have agreed a seven-year contract with Gittens, but have not yet come to agreement on the transfer fee with Dortmund, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein. The west London outfit, who have been long time admirers of the young attacker, 'submitted an official proposal' to the Bundesliga side, who see the player's sale as 'key' to their summer rebuild under manager Nico Kovacs. Advertisement Gittens is 'keen' on moving to Stamford Bridge ahead of next season and could even complete the transfer in time for the Fifa Club World Cup if both sides agree on a deal before Tuesday's deadline. Bayern Munich were previously said to be interested in the winger, who has also played as an attacking midfielder, but have not put in a bid of their own.

Hansi Flick plots summer swoop for ex-Bayern Munich veteran
Hansi Flick is considering a shock free transfer move for his Barcelona squad in the ongoing summer market. On the back of winning three trophies in his debut season in charge, Flick is not looking for major changes, but he will bring in some new faces. Advertisement The swirling question marks over who will be his No.1 next season will rumble on, amid rumours of Marc-Andre ter Stegen is leaving, with Espanyol's Joan Garcia coming in. Liverpool winger Luis Diaz has dropped multiple hints over his interest in a move to Barcelona despite Arne Slot's desire to keep him on Merseyside. However, Flick could make a left-field call, with reports from Mundo Deportivo claiming he wants to bring in 36-year-old Ivan Perisic as a free agent, after missing out on him in 2024. Perisic to Barcelona: Flick's trusted lieutenant Flick has utilised his relationship with Robert Lewandowski to great effect as the pair revived their link from Bayern Munich. Advertisement Lewandowski ended the 2024/25 season with his best numbers as a Barcelona player and Flick believes Perisic could add huge experience to his squad. Ivan Perisic The Croatia international completed a move to PSV Eindhoven last summer and he netted 18 goals in all competitions as they overhauled Ajax in the Dutch Eredivisie title race. There is no indication either way that he will sign a renewal in the Netherlands and he could be tempted by joining Flick and Lewandowski in Catalonia. Ivan Perisic in 2019/20 at Bayern Munich Perisic only played one season under Flick in Munich – on loan from Inter Milan – but 2019/20 saw the pair win a Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and UEFA Champions League treble together. Advertisement The versatile winger netted eight goals and played a crucial role in Flick's set up which could be utilised at Barcelona. A move to Spain would not be as a starter, but his flexibility and goal threat could be valuable, to allow for key rests for Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.

Sunderland Reject Dortmund's Bid for Jobe Bellingham Amid Ongoing Talks
Sunderland Standing Firm as Dortmund Pursue Jobe Bellingham Quiet Confidence Behind Stubborn Negotiations AFC Sunderland's resolve is being tested, and so far, they're not blinking. According to Sky Sports Germany, Borussia Dortmund's pursuit of Jobe Bellingham is active but far from complete. The Bundesliga giants' latest offer, reportedly under €25 million, has been firmly rejected by the newly promoted Premier League side. The report also states that 'Sunderland is proving to be a tenacious negotiator.' Advertisement Negotiations are ongoing, with BVB representatives Sebastian Kehl and Lars Ricken engaged in discussions with Sunderland's Kristjaan Speakman and Kyril Louis-Dreyfus. The German side is expected to return with an improved offer. Despite the standoff, there is a sense of quiet optimism. 'All parties remain optimistic that the deal will close soon,' Sky reports. The idea of a €30 million package, including add-ons, may yet be the key to unlocking the deal. Photo IMAGO Why Dortmund Are Keen This isn't just about sentimentality. While the Bellingham surname carries immense weight in Dortmund, after Jude Bellingham's outstanding spell before joining Real Madrid, this move is centred on Jobe's potential, not his brother's legacy. Advertisement Now 18, the younger Bellingham has carved his own path. In his first full season at Sunderland, he has shown maturity beyond his years and a versatility that appeals to clubs with high ambitions. He can operate as a central midfielder, No.10, or even in wider areas. Dortmund, famed for developing young talent, see him as another long-term project. Reports from Sky Sports confirm that 'Bellingham has agreed a five-year contract with Dortmund.' Timelines and Club World Cup Planning The deal's timing is crucial. Bellingham has been selected for England's U21 European Championship squad and is due to travel to Slovakia. However, 'If there is a breakthrough in the negotiations – this has been agreed – Bellingham would travel to Dortmund and then also to the Club World Cup in the USA.' Advertisement It's a clear sign of intent from Dortmund, not just for the future but also for the present. They want Bellingham involved immediately, potentially using the Club World Cup as a platform for integration. Photo: IMAGO Sunderland's Position of Strength Sunderland's stance is more than just financial prudence, it's reflective of a club with a long-term vision. Having returned to the Premier League, they are no longer content to be a stepping stone. Jobe Bellingham may ultimately leave, but it will be on Sunderland's terms, at the right price, and with the right future guarantees. This negotiation is not only about one player, it is about perception, leverage, and ambition. Our View – EPL Index Analysis For Sunderland, this negotiation feels like a moment of arrival. For too long, the club has seen talent depart on cut-price deals. Now, they're holding firm. While losing a player of Bellingham's promise would sting, the insistence on a deal that reflects his market value signals real intent. There's belief that this club can both develop stars and drive a hard bargain. Advertisement On the other hand, for Borussia Dortmund, the deal makes perfect sense. It mirrors their usual model, spotting emerging talent, offering a step up, and integrating with patience and purpose. Having Jude's legacy in their locker only adds sentimental weight. But this isn't just a name play, Jobe fits Dortmund's blueprint: young, tactically adaptable, and with significant resale potential. If €30 million is indeed the magic number, it represents a calculated gamble for Dortmund and a statement of growth from Sunderland. One way or another, this is a deal that speaks volumes about both clubs.
