Good news for Chelsea. Borussia Dortmund deny talks with top club over Gittens

Chelsea have long been linked with Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens, but recent rumors suggested the Blues might face competition from another European giant. However, the reality appears quite different.

Details: Reports claimed that Bayern Munich were also targeting Gittens, but Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has dismissed those claims, stating he has no knowledge of such talks—though he did admit the winger's departure this summer is possible.

Quote: "At the moment, I am not in contact with Max Eberl. We have a very good relationship. We know and respect each other. But right now, I have nothing to add on this topic.

I understand the impatience—people are waiting for news every day. I'm aware of that. We still have some time. We're working on a few departures and hope to make progress in the coming days. We're making a big effort," Kehl told Sport1.
