Real Madrid Is Closely Monitoring Jamie Gittens, the latest English gem from Borussia Dortmund. The white sports management has scouted the winger live, and he is on their list of potential future signings if a spot opens up in the attack.

Real Madrid continues to scour the market. Their goal is to sign young talents with the potential to become stars.

According to Relevo, the merengue club is closely following Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. The 20-year-old Englishman plays for Borussia Dortmund and is shining this season. He can play on both wings, although his natural position is the left wing.

In the 2024-25 season, he has scored 11 goals, four in the Champions League, and provided five assists. His ability to disrupt has caught the attention of the white scouts.

An Explosive Winger

What Madrid likes most is his one-on-one ability. He is the player with the most dribbles per game in the Bundesliga (4.3) and a 50% success rate.

Additionally, his speed is another key factor. In the Champions League, he has reached 21.7 mph (34.9 km/h), according to UEFA.

Dortmund has produced great talents in recent years. Sancho, Bellingham, and now Gittens. Madrid knows he could be a great investment for the future.

Real Madrid's interest in Gittens doesn't mean they have ruled out other players. Both Gyökeres and Leão are liked by the management, but the Englishman is seen as a more future-oriented option with less competition in the market.

His profile fits the club's policy of betting on young players with room for growth. Additionally, his current price is lower than other options.

England Wants Him Too

Manchester City and Chelsea are also following his steps. In the Premier League, they believe he could return soon.

Dortmund could facilitate his departure if they don't qualify for the Champions League. His market value is 50 million euros, but it could increase by the end of the season.

Madrid, if Vinícius leaves, sees him as a viable option. A low-risk signing with great potential. Gittens is on the radar.
