One exclusive report has claimed that Chelsea could let club captain Reece James leave the club for a vastly reduced fee after his constant injuries.
The Blues will apparently have a big decision to make soon on James as he is once again nursing another injury. The report wildly claims that the right back could even be sold for £20m!

There is much more to this story of course, and realistically, whether Chelsea see James as integral to their plans going forward or not, they simply might end up having no choice at all but to sell him if a club came in for him.
At this point you’d find it hard to imagine that he would have many suitors, because he is rarely even available to play for a sustained period. But apparently Real Madrid are still keen on signing him regardless of his injuries, but it would have to be for a cut-price.

James could be sold
An exclusive report from Graeme Bailey for TBR Football claims Chelsea could have a decision to make about James leaving the club.
The report says that James is still recognised as one of the best right backs in the world when fit, and the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are confirmed admirers.
One option they claim that Chelsea could have is allowing James to leave for a vastly reduced fee and that is something that Real Madrid have looked at.
A an offer from Real for James could possibly be worth less than £20m, but any potential deal could include clauses that accumulate into a more realistic figure, depending on how possible playing time. much he plays.
James has started just four league games in the last 12 months and is a proven massively injury prone player unfortunately.
