AS Roma have another opportunity to sign Chelsea‘s Jamie Gittens in the winter market after the Premier League side offered him on loan during the summer window. 

The winger hasn’t enjoyed a good run since swapping Borussia Dortmund for Chelsea in July 2025.

In his debut season, he played 1,102 minutes in 27 matches, managing a goal and six assists. His goal for the west London club came in the EFL Cup win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Gittens suffered a hamstring injury in February and was out for 59 days. He then picked up the same injury in April and was out until June.

Unhappy with situation at Chelsea

Towards the end of the summer window, Xabi Alonso’s side tried to sign AS Roma’s Manu Koné. They offered the England U21 international on loan as part of the deal for Koné, but the move didn’t go through.

Last week, Sport Witness covered a report from Italy explaining that the Giallorossi want to sign Jamie Gittens in January. Gian Piero Gasperini seems to be pushing for this deal.

Gazzetta dello Sport covered this report and have now come up with fresh updates. Their title says ‘Gittens breaks with Chelsea’. Within the report, the newspaper points out the Blues offering him on loan towards the end of August.

Gittens played 55 minutes in two EFL Cup appearances this season. Alonso didn’t consider him for the Premier League when he was available for selection, and he is clearly unhappy with the restricted role at Chelsea.

Chelsea man’s injury concern worries Roma 

After missing out in the summer, the Serie A side are considering signing him in the next window. In fact, Gazzetta states the negotiations could resume at ‘any moment’.

The Italian club are considering a loan move, with an option or obligation to buy. His difficult situation at Stamford Bridge encourages them to secure the player’s services.

Both Chelsea and Xabi Alonso still want to bet on Jamie Gittens, and it’ll be crucial to find out his plans for the future.

The attacker sustained an ankle injury in September and has been on the sidelines since then. His injuries are certainly a concern for Roma, who haven’t given up on him yet.

If Roma are convinced about Gittens’ fitness, they are likely to push for a loan move in January.
