Transfer twist! Chelsea make final call on Jamie Gittens amid Roma push
Jamie Gittens appears set to remain at Stamford Bridge despite Roma's late attempt to prise him away from Chelsea.
Details: According to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, the English winger is expected to stay at Chelsea despite interest from Roma. The Italian club approached the Blues over a possible loan move, but Chelsea rejected the initial proposal, leaving negotiations over a potential transfer in a complicated position.
The latest update represents a significant twist in the deadline-day saga. Earlier reports had suggested that Roma were making strong progress in negotiations for Gittens and were working on a structure that could take the winger to Italy on an initial loan.
However, Hawkins now reports that Chelsea have not accepted Roma's opening loan approach. With the talks described as complicated and the transfer window entering its decisive hours, the expectation is that Gittens will continue his career in London rather than make a late switch to the Giallorossi.
It is worth noting that Gittens is 22 years old and is currently valued at €30 million by Transfermarkt. Chelsea's next Premier League fixture is scheduled for September 6, when the Blues travel to face Arsenal.
