Transfer: Real Madrid, Manchester City Bayern, reportedly vying to sign Chelsea’s Reece James
Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are reportedly vying to sign Chelsea’s captain Reece James.
The European football powerhouses aim to make their official move in the upcoming summer transfer window.
James has struggled with injuries, missing a significant portion of the 2022/23 season and the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
This season, he has been sidelined once again due to a hamstring problem that has run into weeks.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid sees James as a potential solution for their right-back position, adding depth to their defensive lineup.
On the other hand, despite Kyle Walker’s contract extension at Manchester City, the club under Pep Guardiola is also interested in recruiting James to bolster their defensive lines.
Bayern Munich, led by coach Thomas Tuchel, has thrown its hat as well.
The German club is looking to fill a void in the right-back position left by Benjamin Pavard’s departure to Inter Milan during the recent summer transfer window.
James played a vital role during Tuchel’s tenure at Chelsea, helping his side win the 2021 Champions League.
