A market opportunity due to Chelsea’s situation

The sanctions that Roman Abramovich has suffered, and the process of selling the Blue team in order to be saved “from punishment”, have the club’s squad in suspense and several players could think about leaving the club in the summer. The situation is quite complicated and changing because everything will depend on whether the Russian owner manages to sell the club in the coming months after the approval of the UK government to let the club remain for sale.

Manchester City wants to take advantage of the situation to make a significant investment to sign Reece James, who is currently one of the best full-backs in the world and an important part of Thomas Tuchel’s team. A young piece who can compete for the starting position.

Real Madrid, in the bidding

The Real Madrid It is another club that is interested in acquiring the services of the English right-back, which is a market opportunity. The merengue team needs a full-back to relieve Dani Carvajal, who has performed at a very low level in the current edition of the UEFA Champions League.

The Englishman’s contract ends in the summer of 2025 and his price would be set at around 60 million pounds. An important investment for a young and very talented footballer.
