Chelsea Will Only Consider Selling Player Pursued by Real Madrid if They Receive a “Ridiculous Offer”

Real Madrid Eyeing Reece James as Future Right-Back, but Chelsea Demands Could Prove a Hurdle

Real Madrid has set their sights on securing a new first-choice right-back in the coming years, given Dani Carvajal’s diminishing influence at the club and a gradual decline in his performances.

Reports suggest that Chelsea’s Reece James ranks at the top of Real Madrid’s wish list for this position. The 23-year-old is widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s premier fullbacks, a fact not lost on Los Blancos.

However, Real Madrid may face a formidable challenge in their pursuit of James, as Chelsea has no intention of parting with one of their star players. According to a report from Football Insider (via CaughtOffside), the West London club would only entertain the idea of selling James if they receive a “ridiculous offer.”

Real Madrid boasts significant financial resources and is unafraid of making substantial investments to secure their targets, as evidenced by their pursuit of Jude Bellingham in the summer. Nevertheless, concerns may arise about splurging on a player with a history of recurring injuries, which James has encountered.
