Real Madrid willing to pay €35-40 million for Reece James

Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing the Chelsea defender Reece James.

The 23-year-old has established himself as one of the best full-backs in the Premier League and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the Spanish giants.

Los Blancos will have to find a quality long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal and James has been identified as a potential option. Scouts from the Spanish club have shortlisted the England international as their preferred target and it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid come forward with an offer to sign him at the end of the season.

James was recently appointed as the captain of Chelsea football club and the Blues might not be keen on letting him leave any time soon. He is clearly a key member of Mauricio Pochettino’s dressing room, and the boyhood Chelsea fan is unlikely to push for an exit either.

A report from Estadio Deportivo claims that Real Madrid would be willing to spend around €35-40 million on the transfer.

It will be interesting to see how the situation situation develops over the next few months now.
