Reece James rejects Real Madrid

A few months ago, rumour had it that Reece James was on Real Madrid’s radar at the request of Carlo Ancelotti. The La Liga side have not lost sight of him, but both the player and new owners do not want him to leave. 

Reece James was clear when asked by the ‘BBC’ whether he would like to stay despite Madrid’s interest: “I’d like to think so (stay at Chelsea).“

“I grew up as a Chelsea fan and I made my name playing for Chelsea the club I’ve always supported. I don’t see why that would change I play for Chelsea now and I’m enjoying it,” he said. 

Reece James’ contract runs until 30th June 2025, he still wants to “win every game” and “there’s no reason” he cannot do that. 

“Last season we had a lot injuries. Myself and a lot of other players had long spells out. Around Christmas time we were top of the table and injuries affected us a lot,” James concluded.
