£250,000-a-week star tells Chelsea board he wants to make big transfer move!
CHELSEA defender Reece James wants to join Real Madrid next summer as Florentino Perez puts together a tempting package, according to reports.
James signed a bumper new six-year contract at Stamford Bridge last year (2022), which nets him a reported wage of £250,000-a-week, and made him one of the highest earners in the club.
However – there was alot of transfer speculation over the summer window that Madrid were very interested in trying to get a deal done for the Englishman, but were unable to convince Chelsea to let him leave Stamford Bridge.
But Spanish publication Nacional claims Perez is ‘convinced’ Real Madrid’s priority next summer ‘must be the incorporation of a right back’ with their ‘trust in Dani Carvajal limited’.
Despite Carvajal starting off the season well, Perez ‘doubts that he can maintain this level throughout the year’ and therefore ‘going to the market is an obligation’.
James doesn’t want to keep ‘collecting failures’ at Chelsea and he ‘could opt for a change of scenery’ if the Premier League club fail to qualify for the Champions League for the second year on the bounce.
Nacional adds that James has already said ‘yes’ to joining Real Madrid in that case with Los Blancos ready to present Chelsea with an €80m (£69m) offer for the 23-year-old.

CHELSEA have so many players that are not playing at the level that many fans would have liked – and that is why they would not be too sad to see many stars leave.
But James is one of the best in the Premier League and he would be a massive loss to the system – nobody in that Blues squad has the delivery quality that he has.
But if Madrid do come calling again at the end of the season – no player could turn down a potential move.
