The white club never stops scouring the market. Always alert to young talents who could strengthen the squad in the future.

According to Relevo, one of the names most liked in Valdebebas is Jamie Gittens, an English winger from Borussia Dortmund.

At 20 years old, the forward is establishing himself as one of the great promises of the Bundesliga. In the 2024-25 season, he already has 11 goals and 5 assists, with 4 goals in the Champions League.

An Explosive Talent in the Bundesliga

What most attracts Madrid to Gittens is his ability to unbalance. He is the player who performs the most dribbles per game in the Bundesliga (4.3) with more than 50% success.

He also stands out in progressive runs and arrivals in the area with the ball. His speed is another differential factor: he has reached 21.7 mph (34.9 km/h) in the Champions League, placing him in the top 40 of the tournament, according to UEFA.

Juni Calafat Has Him on the Radar

Real Madrid has already followed Gittens live. He is seen as a future option, in case the need arises to strengthen the attack.

The Englishman follows the path of other Dortmund talents like Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham, who also thrived at the German club before making the leap.

Trained in Manchester City's academy, he could become a great sale for Dortmund in the coming months.

Manchester City and Chelsea are very alert to his development. They hope Borussia Dortmund doesn't qualify for the Champions League, which would facilitate his departure in the summer.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, is monitoring the situation. If any of their strikers leave the club, Gittens could be a low-risk future investment.

Market Value on the Rise

Gittens has a value of 50 million euros according to Transfermarkt. His price continues to rise and could increase even more if he maintains this level until the end of the season.

Madrid doesn't want to let any young talent slip away. Juni Calafat has already marked him as an option to follow closely.
