Chelsea Submit Improved €50m Bid for Jamie Bynoe-Gittens in Race Against Deadline
Chelsea have submitted a significantly improved bid worth €50 million for Borussia Dortmund’s young winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, following the rejection of their earlier €35 million offer. The West London club is pushing hard to secure the 19-year-old’s signature before the transfer deadline related to World Cup squad registration closes at the end of today.
According to a report from RMC Sport, Chelsea have already reached a full agreement with Bynoe-Gittens on personal terms. The deal includes a long-term contract that would run until June 2032, signaling the club’s commitment to investing in the England youth international as a key part of their future.
The urgency stems from Chelsea’s ambition to finalize the transfer in time for the World Cup eligibility deadline. Although this isn’t the typical FIFA transfer window, it appears that Chelsea are maneuvering to ensure that, should he be included in any potential squad considerations, Bynoe-Gittens’ club situation is settled. However, even if the deal does not go through before tonight’s cutoff, sources indicate Chelsea will not give up and are prepared to continue negotiations in the coming weeks.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, once a standout in Manchester City’s academy, has developed rapidly since joining Borussia Dortmund. Known for his flair, quick feet, and creativity on the wing, he has drawn comparisons to other English wingers who made the move to the Bundesliga in their teens — notably Jadon Sancho, who also followed a similar path from England to Dortmund and eventually back to the Premier League.
Bynoe-Gittens has already made a name for himself in Germany, becoming a regular in Dortmund’s first-team rotation. His ability to take on defenders and provide attacking spark has made him one of the most exciting young talents in Europe. His progression and performances have not gone unnoticed, with Chelsea making him a priority target as part of their long-term squad-building strategy.
Chelsea’s new ownership under Todd Boehly and the Clearlake Capital group has been aggressive in the transfer market, particularly targeting young, high-upside talent. The club has already assembled a youthful squad with the likes of Enzo Fernández, Mykhailo Mudryk, Moisés Caicedo, and others — and Bynoe-Gittens fits perfectly into that vision.
Should the move be completed, Bynoe-Gittens would be joining a team under Mauricio Pochettino that is undergoing a period of tactical transition and rebuilding. The Argentine manager is known for his ability to work with young players and could be instrumental in Bynoe-Gittens’ development should the deal be finalized.
As of now, negotiations remain active, with Chelsea hopeful that their improved offer will convince Borussia Dortmund to sell. The German club, known for nurturing young talent and selling at the right price, will weigh Chelsea’s bid against their own plans for the player’s future.
With just hours left before the deadline, Chelsea fans will be watching closely as their club attempts to pull off another major transfer for one of England’s brightest young prospects.
