However, board member for sport Lars Ricken dismissed the claim in an interview with DAZN ahead of Borussia Dortmund’s 4-0 defeat to FC Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday.
"I can say this very clearly: it's not true," Ricken stated, before adding:
“He has been with us since his youth days. There is a lot of trust between us. He identifies 100 percent with BVB.”
After coming off the bench four games in a row, Gittens was back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's loss to FC Barcelona.
