Real Madrid closely tracking €50 million-rated Bundesliga speedster with 15 G/A
According to a recent report from Jorge Picon (h/t Madrid Zone), it has come to light that Real Madrid have set their sights on Borussia Dortmund’s young winger, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, as they continue to track emerging talents across Europe.
The 20-year-old has been making waves in the Bundesliga with his dynamic attacking play and is now on the radar of some of the biggest clubs, including the Spanish giants.
It must be noted that Gittens primarily operates as a left winger but is equally effective on either flank, offering versatility in attack.
His performances have been impressive, with 11 goals to his name, four of which have come in the Champions League, along with five assists across all competitions.
However, his greatest strength lies in his ability to take on defenders and progress with the ball. His dribbling statistics speak for themselves—he currently leads the Bundesliga in dribbles per game with an average of 4.3, maintaining a success rate of over 50%.
Wanted in England too
His rapid development has not gone unnoticed in England either. Manchester City, Chelsea, and several other top Premier League clubs are closely monitoring his progress, recognising him as a potential star for the future.
The level of interest suggests that competition for his signature will be intense if he becomes available.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid view Gittens as a player worth considering, particularly if one of their current attacking stars departs.
Given his age and consistent performances, he represents a relatively low-risk investment with significant potential.
His current market value stands at €50 million, and it has only increased since his arrival in Germany.
If he maintains his current trajectory, his value is expected to rise even further by the end of the season.
With their focus on securing young talents for the future, Madrid are keeping a close eye on the English winger, ensuring they do not miss out on another promising prospect.

Mourinho considering starting 23-year-old Real Madrid ace against Villarreal – report
After impressing during the international break, Eduardo Camavinga has a major opportunity to establish himself in Real Madrid’s midfield rotation.
Indeed, according to Defensa Central, Jose Mourinho is considering starting the Frenchman against Villarreal, with injuries and doubts over several players limiting his options.
Real Madrid cannot afford to drop points against Villarreal if they want to remain in the title race. However, Mourinho has issues to deal with in the squad, which could lead him to turn to Camavinga for a crucial role.
Camavinga could replace Tchouameni in midfield
The 23-year-old star could line up as the defensive midfielder in the double pivot, with Bernardo Silva or Arda Guler alongside him, and will be tasked with providing balance in midfield.
Real Madrid face Villarreal with several problems in central defence. Ibrahima Konate is expected to be a late call, leading Mourinho to consider moving Aurelien Tchouameni into defence alongside Antonio Rudiger.
Meanwhile, Federico Valverde could also struggle to be ready after the ankle injury he sustained in the derby before the international break.
The Uruguayan has continued to work individually away from the group and might return to group training tomorrow. Even then, his readiness to start remains in question.
That would leave a place open in midfield, with Camavinga in line to fill in.
Camavinga impressed during the international break
Camavinga has started only one match this season, the defeat against Real Betis.
Despite his limited opportunities, Mourinho is keen to bring the Frenchman back into the fold after he impressed for France during the international break.
Zinedine Zidane called the Real Madrid star up for his first France squad, and the midfielder performed well during the break.
That has given Mourinho and Real Madrid reason to be optimistic about using him against Villarreal, with the hope that he can move closer to the level he showed after first arriving at the club.
Therefore, the Villarreal match could represent an important test for Camavinga and a chance for the Frenchman to show that he can provide the balance Real Madrid need in midfield.
