Sky Germany say the Bundesliga outfit have turned down Chelsea’s offer, which included either Tammy Abraham or Callum Hudson-Odoi in part exchange.
Dortmund, though, have snubbed their offer as they remain hellbent on keeping the 20-year-old at the club.
Further reports claim Roman Abramovich has released £150 million for the Blues to use in a potential deal for the young phenom.

Haaland has been the subject of intense transfer speculation following an ultra-prolific campaign last season.
He scored a staggering 41 goals in all competitions, including 10 goals in the Champions League – two more than his nearest rival, Kylian Mbappe.
But his future is still clouded with uncertainty, with the Norway international stoking the transfer flames with a cryptic message when asked about his next career move.
Asked if he was staying at Dortmund, he replied by smiling and saying nothing, per Christian Falk.
