  • Real Madrid are interested in the signing of Chelsea defender Reece James and would move for him this summer
  • Already, German defender Antonio Rudiger is on the verge of joining Real Madrid in the summer from Chelsea
  • Reece James has been one of the best players at Chelsea this season and Thomas Tuchel wants to keep him

Reece James who plays as a defender for Premier League giants Chelsea has been reportedly identified as summer transfer target for Spanish side Real Madrid who want to bolster their squad.

According to the report on GOAL, Real Madrid will find it difficult to lure Reece James to Spain as Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel is counting on the England international.

However, Los Blancos chiefs are also said to be interested in signing Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni who is also a target for Chelsea and Liverpool.

When did Reece James join Chelsea?

Reece James actually started his youth career at Chelsea before graduating to the first team at Stamford Bridge in 2018 and has been an important member in the Blues squad.

But despite his standing in the first-team squad, James, who is under contract until 2025, is not one of Chelsea's highest earners.

And Real Madrid want to tempt him with good offer for them to have his signature.

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how former Arsenal and Chelsea star Willian’s family is reportedly living in fear following threats made on social media.

Willian ended his spell in Europe and is currently back in his native Brazil, where he plays form Corinthians.

One would expect Willian’s move back to Brazil to be blissful since he is closer to his family, but according to reports from ESPN, the family is seriously considering moving out of the country.

The threats intensified following Corinthians’ shock defeat to Bolivian side Always Ready in the CONMEBOL Libertadores.

The Sun further reports that several players were issued threats following the loss, including Willian.
