Real Madrid allegedly has a plan in place to sign Reece James from Chelsea in two years, according to Spanish media.
The 35-time La Liga champions have reportedly decided that they are prepared to wait in order to get the right-back they desire down the road.
James has been linked to the illustrious Madrid club before, but the previous time was more than a year after he had just agreed to a large contract with the team.
He promised Stamford Bridge his long-term future, and nothing has occurred to cause him to change his mind.
He will earn a nice £250,000 per week under his new contract, which definitely will have an impact on his choices.
Real Madrid wants James in 2025.
He will likely be even more committed to the cause now that he has been named the club’s new captain since the start of the season.
The 23-year-old was chosen by Mauricio Pochettino to lead his squad into the future over veteran Thiago Silva, who was also a consideration.
James’ remarkable talent makes it unsurprising that one of the finest clubs in the world is interested in signing him.
It should be highlighted that any sale of the Englishman will be recorded on the books as pure profit, and the new owners haven’t been afraid to make audacious choices regarding academy grads.
Mason Mount ended up playing for Manchester United because they weren’t afraid to tell him how much they thought he was worth.
