Liverpool, led by Mohamed Salah and a strong forward line-up including Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa, are in friendly competition. The team is well-positioned, but the team is looking to the future.
According to international media outlet Sky Sport DE’s Patrick Berger, Liverpool, along with Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, are interested in Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens.
However, the journalist also mentioned that a move is unlikely to go through next summer and revealed that if any clubs are interested in acquiring him, they would need to offer a fee in excess of €100 million.
“Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham are all monitoring the situation surrounding Jamie Gittens.”
“BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl only extended the contract with the mega-jewel and high-flyer until 2028 a year ago and increased his basic salary to around €3m (excluding bonuses). “
“The winger currently has no thoughts of leaving, feels at home in Dortmund and wants to stay for at least another year. However, according to Sky, Gittens sees his long-term future in the Premier League. Potential clubs have already contacted the player’s management.”
“If a club offers €50m or €60m in the summer, BVB will just shrug their shoulders. The sum that would make the Black & Yellows buckle: €100m.”

The 20-year-old winger from London decided to go to Germany four years ago from Manchester City’s academy and has been getting first-team action since 2022, scoring two goals and assisting eight in 34 games last season, albeit often on the way up.
This season, he is starting more games and is becoming more of a threat in front of goal. With seven goals and four assists in 18 games so far, his extraordinary potential is beginning to blossom. His talent will not go unnoticed by the best clubs in his country, and in a few years’ time he could be shining on the Premier League stage.
