AS Roma have submitted a formal proposal to Chelsea regarding the potential acquisition of winger Jamie Gittens, according to reports from Italian media sources. The Serie A club is pursuing a loan deal that would include an option to purchase the English attacker at a later date.
Gittens arrived at Stamford Bridge last summer from Borussia Dortmund in a significant £48.5 million transfer following an impressive campaign in Germany. However, the move has not gone as planned, with the winger struggling to make an impact during his first year in English football. He managed just 27 appearances across all competitions while failing to find the back of the net consistently for the Premier League side.
Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini continues to search for reinforcements in the attacking department to strengthen his squad. The Italian club recently completed the signing of Rodrigo Mora from Porto and remains active in the transfer market. Chelsea’s new coaching staff may be open to allowing the underperforming winger temporary departure to gain more competitive minutes and rediscover his form.
Gittens remains contracted to Chelsea through 2032, meaning any temporary or permanent exit will require the club’s approval and likely involve substantial fees or structured arrangements between the two parties.
