Every player wants to join the best club in the world, and that is undoubtedly Real Madrid. Some players leave, while others fail to sign and feel regret, as is the case with Reece James.
The English full-back was one of the club’s preferred options to be a future replacement for Carvajal. However, Reece James has not shown the courage to take the step or demonstrate his desire to sign for the royal team.
Currently, James’ level has declined significantly, as he suffers from muscle injuries and feels unhappy at Chelsea.
He has a contract with the English club until June 30, 2028, and his market value is 35 million euros, down from 70 million euros in 2022.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, Madrid’s management has changed its views on him due to his decline in form and repeated injuries.
Other options are now being sought in the market, such as his compatriot Alexander Arnold.
It doesn’t happen often that players’ careers and the interests of the best team in the world can change in a matter of months, especially during transfer windows.
Reece James is aware of this reality, which makes him feel regretful, as he has endured difficult seasons at the English club. A change of environment could be beneficial for him to improve his negative trajectory. Many clubs are still interested in him because he possesses great skills, but a move to Madrid seems impossible at the moment.
