Emeka Must Shine FIRST GAME He WATCHED LIVE AND CHELSEA SHOWED TF OUT

Manchester City join Real Madrid in race for Chelsea defender

Dani Carvajal ages well, much like a good wine. Despite his advanced age, the Real Madrid veteran has put on some of the best performances of the season.

This season, the Spaniard has made 11 league starts for Real Madrid and has contributed two goals and two assists. In addition, he averages nine defensive actions and 1.3 crucial passes per game.

Carvajal can cover right back for Los Blancos this season on his own, given his present skill level.

However, it makes sense that management is focused on the future, and they believe Chelsea’s Reece James is a suitable substitute.

Not the only gathering

Manchester City is reportedly interested in signing James as well, according sources from The Independent via GOAL.

He has long been seen as Kyle Walker’s successor, and the Premier League winners intend to sign him over the upcoming transfer windows.

It goes without saying that Real Madrid’s hopes of signing the star are severely damaged by this. James may decide to remain in his native nation given that the most powerful team in England is pursuing him.

However, the player hasn’t yet shown a wish to quit Chelsea in any way. In actuality, his deal with the Blues expires in 2028.

Real Madrid’s financial cap

According to reports earlier this week, Carlo Ancelotti gave the English star his approval to sign as a long-term right-back option. But his arrival is everything but easy.

James is now valued at €65 million on the transfer market and has a long-term contract with Chelsea.

Real Madrid declines to pay that amount and has no intention of spending more than €40 million on his services.

The arrival of Manchester City may alter Los Blancos’ financial situation. The player and his group will ultimately make the call.
