The Athletic's resident renowned English transfer journalist David Ornstein, personally refuted rumours claiming that Manchester United is interested in competing for the signing of Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Jamie Bynoe-Gittens on Saturday.

According to Ornstein's report, since it is not 100% certain whether Manchester United will qualify for the Champions League next season (only by defeating Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final can they qualify for the Champions League next season), Manchester United has not yet formulated a plan to sign other players except Matheus Cunha.

Similarly, Tottenham Hotspur has not yet confirmed that they will offer to buy Bynoe-Gittens.

Ornstein revealed that there is indeed a release clause in Bynoe-Gittens' contract that is valid until the summer of 2028. The amount of the clause is €60 million , which meant that it was never as high as €100 million as our website's infamously notorious female rumour monger "Ms. Hype Up" has lied and falsely claimed on October 22, 2024.

In addition, the amount of the release clause actually depends on Dortmund's final ranking in the previous season when the clause is triggered, depending on whether the club qualifies for the Champions League/Europa League/Conference League next season or failed to qualify for any European competition entirely. Therefore, its release clause can also be called a floating release clause.

Under floating release clause, if Dortmund only qualifies for the Europa League next season, the amount of its release clause will be reduced by €5 million to €55 million and so on.

If the worst happens, that is, the BVB unfortunately failed to qualify for any European competition entirely, its release clause may not even reach €50 million.

For the above reasons, since Dortmund's final ranking this season is still unknown, this means that no club is sure how to bid so as not to overpay Dortmund. It is for this reason that all clubs interested in competing for the signing of Bynoe-Gittens are still under closely monitoring the situation.

Ornstein added that since the beginning, the clubs interested in competing for the signing of Bynoe-Gittens, apart from Spurs, were only Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Chelsea.

Liverpool never planned to sign the wonderkid as "Ms. Hype Up" had lied and falsely claimed to have.

Dortmund never "told" the Premier League champions that "they must pay €100 million to sign Bynoe-Gittens", and he never heard that the Reds wants to strengthen their winger position this summer.

He explained that it is well known that Chelsea has always like to hoard as many wonderkids as possible, so it is not surprising that the Blues would be interested in competing for the signing of this wonderkid who also played in its youth academy when he was young.

Barcelona wants to sign Bynoe-Gittens because its sporting director Deco admired the former Manchester City youth academy player very much.

Whether Bayern Munich will make an offer for Bynoe-Gittens will depend on whether Leroy Sané will renew his contract and whether other wingers in the team will be sold first.

Upon verification, the rumour monger who lied and falsely claimed that Manchester United is interested in competing for the signing of Bynoe-Gittens was our website's "Daily Slap in the Face Party" regular representative, the infamously notorious British online media outlet Team Talk!
