According to Fichajes, Real wants to own Chelsea’s key defender and will send an offer to its Premier League partner in the near future.
This summer, besides Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid did not bring any other expensive rookies to the Bernabeu. Kepa Arrizabalaga and Joselu are loan signings, while Arda Guler (20 million euros) and Fran Garcia (5 million euros) are not “blockbuster” deals.
However, Los Blancos is expected to spend heavily in the upcoming transfer periods to regain the throne in the domestic and European arenas. Accordingly, the right back position is one of the areas that the Spanish Royal team wants to upgrade.
According to Fichajes, Real has put Chelsea’s Reece James on the radar in the next summer market. They see the British star as a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal. And although the new captain of the Blues has just renewed his contract with the parent club, the La Liga giant will .
In fact, this is a number that Chelsea would be unlikely to meet even if they agreed to part ways with James. But if the 23-year-old talent gives the green light, Real can increase the price to close the deal.
James has not been able to play regularly for Chelsea recently because of injury and physical problems. But every time he appears in the squad, he always makes positive contributions.
At this time, the home team at Stamford Bridge is taking the initiative at the negotiating table, but Real has great attraction to every player. And if he leaves Chelsea, Los Blancos will be a potential landing spot for James.
