Chelsea is reportedly considering loaning out 22-year-old Jamie Gittens in January, with Roma showing significant interest. Gittens, who has not played a Premier League minute this season due to injuries, is expected to be fully fit after the international break, prompting Chelsea to review his situation. The club views him as a key long-term player and has no intention of a permanent sale, but a loan is seen as crucial for gaining game time.

Other clubs like RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt, Leeds, Sunderland, and Everton have also made enquiries or shown interest. Real Madrid's Endrick and Arsenal are mentioned in relation to Roma's other targets. The winter transfer window opens on January 1, 2027, and closes on February 1, setting the stage for Gittens' potential temporary departure.
