Liverpool ready to pay £83.4 million and get star signed up – attacker tells Bundesliga club he ‘will leave’

Long-standing LIVERPOOL target Jamie Gittens will leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer if the club do not qualify for the Champions League, it has been claimed in the media over the past few days.

Liverpool have had a great opening few months of the season and looking like the side that will push on to win that Premier League title, which is a shock as many had Man City and Arsenal favourites to lift that title.

But there is always room for growth at LIVERPOOL – and that means the club will continue to seek players that will come in, sign massive contracts and hopefully develop into the stars of the future, and now the Reds have their eyes on their next transfer target,

While no decisions have been made about his immediate future, LIVERPOOL is said to have expressed a concrete interest in getting a potential deal done for Gittens at the end of the current season, but could face the likes of Real Madrid and Chelsea for the lads signature.

Dortmund currently sit 10th in the Bundesliga and currently seven points behind the Champions League places, and according to reports on BILD, Gittens has told the club that he will leave the side at the end of the season if they not achieve Champions League football.

The report adds that Gittens wants to be competing against the very best clubs on a weekly basis, and challenging for trophies.

However – amid the speculation – reporter Iomie Stanley has claimed that it is not the right time for the lad to leave Dortmund, he told icfootballnews: ‘Gittens is showing the kind of potential that will take him far in the game, he is a real star of the future.

However, despite the fact the Premier League is the dream destination for alot of young stars, despite the fact he would get a massive wage from coming to England and despite the fact he could join one of the big boys, he is not ready.’
