Borussia Dortmund Winger Jamie Gittens could be available for a much lower price this summer if his team does not secure a point in the Champions League, according to German media reports.
Gittens, an England youth international, had a mixed season. Started the campaign strong, impressing early and gaining attention from clubs, With Chelsea being intense.
At one point, Dortmund posed a price of 100m euros, hoping to remove interested parties. However, its form has been significantly reduced and its value can now be in question.
Although Dortmund has reached the Champions League quarter -finals, they are sitting in the 10th in the Bundesliga today and the overall disappointing season has taken on Gittens.
His performances were inconsistent, especially after Nuri Sahin’s firing and Niko Kovac’s appointment as a new coach. Gittens, once regarded as a rising star-has struggled to maintain his form in the early season.
If Dortmund fails to secure the Champions League football, he could face a difficult decision as they will need to create funds, It means that Liverpool’s goal could leave.
Jamie Gittens Transfer: Dortmund Winger could be made available for cheap price
While some reports had suggested that Dortmund could require up to 80m euros for the 20 -year -old wing, Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg hints that the Gittens could be available for a fraction of this price if BVB did not reach the Champions League.
However, Plettenberg did not process exactly what “really cheap” means, leaving room for interpretation. Ultimately, the value of Gittens will largely depend on its performances in the last weeks of the season.
If its decline continues, Dortmund will be forced to adjust their expectations and the price of 80m euros, let alone the 100m euros they initially hope can be unrealistic.
