Reece James Fully Committed to Chelsea Despite Man City & Real Madrid Interest

Reece James’ focus remains solely on helping Chelsea re-establish themselves as Premier League title contenders despite the interest in his services from Manchester City and Real Madrid.

James signed a six-year contract in 2022 and was named Chelsea captain this summer by new manager Mauricio Pochettino, with the 23-year-old right-back widely seen as one of the finest players in the world in his position.

James’ development has long been admired by Manchester City, who are aware of the impending need to replace 33-year-old Kyle Walker, but the Premier League champions are not believed to be working on a deal for the Chelsea skipper as it stands.

However, sources have confirmed to 90min that Real Madrid have an active interest in James. Carlo Ancelotti’s side are also in need of a younger right-back to take over from 31-year-old Dani Carvajal and the Chelsea star is among Madrid’s dream targets for the position.

Despite being aware of interest from the two teams, James is understood to be fully committed to the Chelsea project and is not entertaining the idea of leaving.
