Borussia Dortmund deny Bayern Munich contact amid Jamie Gittens transfer reports as Chelsea still aiming to sign €60m winger

Reports have emerged suggesting Bayern are interested in signing Jamie Gittens from Dortmund. However, BVB sporting director Kehl denied having any contact with his Bayern counterpart Max Eberl over the winger. Meanwhile, Chelsea remain keen but haven’t matched the €60 million (£50m/$69m) asking price.

With the Club World Cup ongoing, Dortmund are trying to avoid distractions around key players like Gittens. The 20-year-old has attracted attention from Europe’s top clubs due to his rapid development, but the Bundesliga side are unwilling to sell unless their valuation is met.

"I'm not currently in contact with Max Eberl, but otherwise we have a very good relationship. Nevertheless, there's nothing to say on the subject at the moment." Kehl told reporters in Fort Lauderdale, brushing aside Bayern speculation.

Chelsea may return with an improved offer for Gittens, while the Bavarians' interest remains unconfirmed. For now, Dortmund will focus on their Club World Cup campaign before making any transfer decisions.
