Bayern Munich were oblivious to Harry Kane's desire to sign Son Heung-min.
Reporter Florian Flettenberg, who works for Sky Sports in Germany and is fluent in information on the transfer market, said on his personal SNS on the 24th (Korea time), "Bayern is interested in Jamie Gittens." The 20-year-old Gittens, who plays for Dortmund, is Bayern's main target for the upcoming summer transfer window."
Bayern's wingers are currently in disrepair. Except for the new Michael Olise, there are no players who do their part. Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Comang and Leroy Sané are also unable to pay for their salaries. Last summer, Bayern also tried to make a winged change, but it was unsuccessful because there was no proper offer.
Bayern has not offered Sané a contract renewal either, and is expected to try to replace the winger generation in the upcoming summer transfer market. Gittens was on Bayern's recruiting radar.
Born in 2004, Gittens is a talent who has been famous in England since childhood. He grew up in Manchester City through Reading, but joined the Dortmund Youth Academy in 2020. Gittens, who has been given a chance to play in the first team little by little since the 2022-2023 season, is properly bursting his potential this season.
Gittens, who took off as Dortmund's main player, is emerging as the future of Dortmund with nine goals and four assists in 23 games. Gittens, who has great speed and breakthrough power, is known to have captured the hearts of the team's leaders in their last showdown with Bayern.
Journalist Flettenberg said Bayern coach Vincent Kompany and club sporting director Max Ebele are internally enthusiastic about Gittens. His situation is being closely monitored, and Bayern has already collected important information. Gittens is also aware of Bayern's interest."
Bayern is understood to be considering signing Niko Williams, who is considered the future of Spain, along with Gitens. Bayern has not yet moved to sign Gittens.
The problem is the price. According to Sky Sports, Dortmund reportedly want as much as 100 million euros (about 151.7 billion won) for Gittens' transfer fee. Dortmund will certainly not want to hand over their future to champions Bayern. In addition, it is understood that Gittens is also attracting attention from other English Premier League (EPL) clubs.
