The likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been linked with Jamie Gittens and Borussia Dortmund want £83m for their latest young English star.
The 20-year-old who spent time in the youth ranks at Reading, Chelsea and Manchester City has become a regular in the first team at Dortmund.
The winger has made 22 Bundesliga appearances this season, scoring seven league goals, while he has also scored four in nine Champions League outings.
His form in Germany has not quite earned him a call-up to the senior England team yet, but he has been playing for the Under-21 side since making his debut in September 2023.
Gittens’ performances have been enough to attract the attention of a string of Premier League giants, though, with Dortmund expecting to field offers this summer.
Manchester United are already believed to have made contact with the winger’s representatives, trying to steal a march on the competition.
There is also interest in the youngster from Liverpool and Chelsea, while Arsenal have been lined with him in the recent past.
German publication BILD report that Dortmund would be willing to cash in on their young star for €100m (£83m) if a bid comes in.
Gittens remains under contract with Dortmund until 2028, but Sky Sports reported last month that he is keen on a move to the Premier League this summer.
The Reading-born winger never played a senior game while in England, leaving Manchester City for Dortmund at just 16 years old.
While Dortmund will accept an enormous offer for Gittens if one comes in, they are not desperate to sell him by any means.
Dortmund’s managing director Carsten Cramer played down an exit for Gittens in the near future, speaking in December, he said: ‘It is our ambition to keep him playing for us for as long as possible.
‘It is not the aim to gain as much money as soon as possible. We want to keep him.’
Speaking to Bundesliga.com earlier this season on how he has improved as a player in Germany, Gittens explained: ‘I think I am much more mature on and off the pitch, more strict about certain things, more game understanding of knowing what to do off the ball as well, defensively and through bad times.
‘I’m not so down because back then I’ll go on my phone after a bad game and see people saying things about me, talking bad about me but now, I never look at it. So the small things I’m getting used to and I’m becoming more of a man in this way.’
On leaving England at such a young age he added: ‘It definitely wasn’t easy. Sometimes, I sit down at my house and think it could have been different.
‘I am thankful that I am here right now to play football and do what I love and to do it for Borussia Dortmund is even better.’
