Dortmund reject Chelsea's offer for Jamie Gittens
Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens celebrates his side's first goal of the game during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Borussia Moenchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund at Borussia-Park stadium. Federico Gambarini/dpa Borussia Dortmund have rejected a offer from Chelsea for their winger Jamie Gittens. "We spoke over the phone, but in the end we didn't come to an agreement because we have different ideas about the player's current value," Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl said on Wednesday in a press conference. Advertisement According to media reports, Chelsea have offered €55 million ($63.08 million) for the player. Instead of a move to the Premier League, the 20-year-old Gittens will play for Dortmund at the Club World Cup in the United States from June 14 to July 13. "Jamie definitely makes our team better. We're glad he's here," Kehl said. However, Gittens himself reportedly has already reached an agreement with the London club and a move to England after the Club World Cup is not off the table. "We're in a good exchange and we'll see how things develop in the future," Kehl said. Gittens has a contract with Dortmund until 2028 and the German club is reportedly demanding €65 million to release him. "I assume that his market value will not fall," Kehl said.

Chelsea transfer target 'speeds away from training ground' as move collapses
Jamie Gittens was hoping to seal a move to Chelsea prior to the Club World Cup kicking off in the USA, but he has now been named in Borussia Dortmund's squad Chelsea transfer target Jamie Bynoe-Gittens appears to be less than impressed that his move to the Blues failed to go through before the Club World Cup deadline. England under-21 winger Gittens, 20, has his heart set on a move to Stamford Bridge, and has been receptive to Chelsea's advances ever since the Premier League outfit firmed up their interest in a player who was briefly in their own academy. Chelsea have reportedly agreed a seven-year contract with the former Manchester City youngster, but on Tuesday they saw their £42million bid for his services rejected by Borussia Dortmund ahead of the 7pm GMT Club World Cup transfer deadline. The Bundesliga outfit then named Gittens in their 28-man squad for the tournament in the US, and he was filmed by a local reporter speeding away from the club's training ground having been left 'very frustrated' by the episode.

The failure to sign Gittens completed a disappointing day for Chelsea, who have also failed in their move for the AC Milan and France goalkeeper Mike Maignan. The 30-year-old has made it clear that he wants to join the Blues, and while Chelsea didn't register a bid they do still hope to make a move for him later in the summer, with Maignan having one year remaining on his Milan contract. Sky Germany also report that Chelsea failed to reach an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt for their forward Hugo Ekitike, causing the Blues to pull the plug on a deal for him before the Club World Cup. Liverpool also remain interested in the Frenchman. Gittens will now hope that a switch to Chelsea can be resurrected later in the summer, and it will be interesting to note if he appears for Dortmund in their Club World Cup group stage matches against Brazil's Fluminense in New Jersey on June 17, South African side Mamelodi Sundowns in Cincinnati on June 21 and Japanese outfit Ulsan HD, also in Cincinnati, on June 25. Chelsea's group stage fixtures are all one day prior to Dortmund's. The Blues begin their campaign against MLS side LAFC in Atlanta before facing Brazil's Flamengo and Tunisia's Esperance in Philadelphia.
