Chelsea have offered their club captain Reece James to Real Madrid in order to sign Federico Valverde from them.
According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid are interested in strengthening their right-back position and James is one of the players on their shortlist.
Chelsea are expected to demand a huge fee if a player exchange trade is not possible since James has a contract at the club that runs until 2028.
To make the offer cheaper, Chelsea have accepted to do a player to player exchange deal and have asked Real Madrid to send Valverde their way.
The Premier League giants have tried to sign Valverde twice before but Real Madrid and the player himself have refused the offer.
James is not the only player on Madrid’s shortlist. They are also in the market to sign a left-back and Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies is someone who interests them.
Valverde is a versatile player who can help Chelsea in a number of positions. The Uruguayan has shown he can play as an attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder and right-back.
The 23-year old player is a key component of the Real Madrid machinery and he is contracted at the club until 2027.
The Spanish giants have been long term admirers of James and they have made no secret of their desire to get his signature done.
It is also a position in which Madrid are lacking depth with Lucas Vazquez and Dani Carvajal being their only options but both of them being above 30, Carlo Ancelotti’s team is looking for better and long term future options.
Made up story, absolute nonsense
ANOTHER MINDLESS MOVE !!!!!!!!!! SO YET AGAIN THE CLUB GIVE AWAY A QUALITY HOME GROWN PLAYER, AND GET ONE THAT SOMEONE ELSE DON’T WANT. I BET AS USUAL THIS IS NOT A MANAGEREAL DECISION. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You don’t talk that anymore, valverede is a key play of Real Madrid too if you don’t know, and he’s important so it’s better you guys keep your James injury captain and get on with your losing lives.
“Chelsea F.C. continues to set the bar high in the football world! Their relentless pursuit of excellence, dynamic gameplay, and rich history make them an unstoppable force on the field. Kudos to the Blues for their unwavering dedication to the sport!”
James always has injuries he can’t fit at real Madrid. On behalf of the team valverde is not for sale.
James is has been nursing his injuries from the time he was 2 day’s why should we exchange with a machine?
JAMES SHOULDN’T LEAVE DA CLUB IF DA BLUES WANT TO REMAIN ON DA EPL AND EUROPEAN RADAR!!!!
A player plays one game and sit out for 11 games through injury. A good defender but his legs are made glass. We should look for a better option.
James of lately has been an injury prone, he just can’t get any better. It’s so frustrating seeing your best players spend the rest of the season on bench just because of injury related issues. I think it’s right time cfc let go off James and find some one with better fitness than him. He takes long to recover and shortly he’s hurt again. I would entertain the idea of him being exchange with fede’ valvarde. He’s an exceptional player, n I think he makes a better comb’ with Enzo. That way our midfield will be a rock
