Chelsea set to part ways with club skipper Reece James next season

According to an exclusive source, Chelsea may allow club skipper Reece James to depart for a significantly lower price due to his ongoing injuries. Given that James is recovering from yet another injury, the Blues will reportedly have to make a significant choice about him shortly. According to the report, the right back may potentially fetch up to £20 million.

There is obviously considerably more to this tale, and in all likelihood, Chelsea may be forced to sell James if a team bids for him, regardless of whether they view him as essential to their future ambitions. Since he is seldom even available for action for an extended amount of time, it is difficult to conceive that he could have had many suitors at this moment. Despite his injuries, it seems that Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are still interested in signing him, but only at a reduced cost.

Real Madrid show interest in signing Reece James from Chelsea

According to an exclusive report by Graeme Bailey for TBR Football, Chelsea may need to decide whether to let James leave the team. According to the article, teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are acknowledged fans of James, who is still regarded as one of the top right backs in Europe when fit. Allowing James to depart for a far lower price is one option they say Chelsea might have, and Real Madrid has considered it.

Real Madrid's bid for James could be less than £20 million, but depending on how much playing time is attainable, any prospective agreement might have stipulations that add up to a more reasonable amount. He plays very few games and is often seen in the medical room rather than on the pitch. Unfortunately, Reece James has only started four league matches in the past 12 months and has a history of serious injuries. With Malo Gusto providing a strong case to be the number one right-back at the club, it might be time for Chelsea to part ways with your skipper.
