According to a media report, BVB expects the departure of left wing Jamie Gitten (20) in summer. It is currently not an issue whether a replacement candidate for this could be Ansu Fati from FC Barcelona, but the Dortmund about the wing striker is said to have tried in the past January transfer window. Since then, the precarious location of the former top talent at Barça has not improved a piece. Like Gittens at Borussia, Fati is supposed to change the change of scenery in Catalonia.
According to the TV broadcaster “Sky”, Gitten has put BVB into account for his wish. Internally, you count on the farewell. The Englishman, who came to the Dortmund offspring in 2020, wanted to take the next step and possibly try the Premier League. The junior international still has a market there. FC Bayern is also mentioned as a possible prospect. In the 4-1 on Saturday, Gitten had scored a goal again for the first time since January.
In view of the weak second half of the young professional, the BVB has moved away from the once targeted amount of the desired revenue and is probably also ready to compromise depending on the reaching of international business. Gitten’s’ market value rose to 50 million euros after seven goals in the Bundesliga secondary round after seven goals in the Bundesliga round. His contract is still valid in the long term by 2028.
BVB efforts around Barças Fati? Ex-talent only remained because of flick
Fati was also mostly on the left offensive side in Barcelona, although the ten -time Spanish international there has been very rarely presented there for a long time. The former Megatalent of FC Barcelona has been on the descending branch almost consistently for around four years. Its market value fell unprecedented from 80 million to 5 million euros since 2021. Since the situation has not improved a piece in the first months of the new year, Fati should now finally be targeting a farewell. The BVB could be a logical candidate against the background of an allegedly recently receding departure attempt.
Fati is said to have already considered a departure in winter, but after a conversation with coach Hansi Flick decided against a change. According to “Mundo Deportivo”, BVB also threw its hat into the ring. Ajax, Porto and Besiktas are also mentioned as clubs that have requested the largely discarded owner from La Masia. However, the expressions of interest were not particularly stubborn from Dortmund but from Istanbul.
Either way, Fati listened to the flick and stayed in Barcelona. Although he had hardly been used under the German coach in the first half of the season, he had already used new hope after a conversation with the trainer. However, it was disappointed. On January 4 in the cup game against the fourth division Barbastro, Fati was allowed to go for the last time – for a less than half an hour. The last assignment in the league was also as a Joker in mid -November, whereupon a muscle injury Fati for several games pulled out of circulation. He is still bound to Barcelona by 2027.
But not only the unsatisfactory situation during the game days leads to Fatis, it is said, but also the step -up of the club with the former hope in terms of media presence. Despite good training achievements, other players on social media would primarily be focused on. Fati then experienced another low against Real Betis last Saturday. Barcelona was missing a goal against the team from Seville to continue the nine games. After only an offensive change, coach Flick exchanged only in midfield and in the defense player. Fati did not get out of warm -up. The game ended 1: 1.
