Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia has already told Reece James that he could stay in west London for many years to come despite transfer links with Real Madrid. It has been suggested that the Spanish giants are eyeing a move for the academy prospect.
Defensa Central have reported that Los Blancos are prioritising a swoop for his services as they aim to bolster the right-side of their defence. Dani Carvajal is currently edging towards the twilight of his career, whilst Lucas Vazquez has never been perceived as an orthodox right-sided defender.
A move for James then would certainly make sense, with the Englishman having caught the eye at Stamford Bridge. However, Blues director Marina Granovskaia has already dropped a considerable hint over his immediate and long-term future.
