Real Madrid are ready to make a fresh approach to sign Chelsea star Reece James this summer if the Blues are forced to sell players due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. James only recently signed a new long-term deal that would keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2028.
The 23-year-old is one of the best right-backs in the world and it's unlikely that the Blues would sell him for any less than a world-record fee for a defender. Chelsea's problems this season may be concerning for James and the interest from Madrid may test his resolve.
The England international endured a difficult evening up against Vinicius Junior during the west Londoners' 2-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu. Goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio have given the Champions League holders a strong advantage heading into the second leg of their quarter-final tie.
