CHELSEA have made a decision over Reece James’ future amid transfer interest from the likes of Barcelona, Benfica and Real Madrid heading into the January window, reports have claimed in the media this week.
The Chelsea academy graduate was named captain ahead of the 2023-24 season but went on to endure a frustrating campaign, with injuries restricting him to just 11 appearances in all competitions.
This season has been any better and many Blues fans are wondering what will happen with James, as the defender will no longer be first choice when he is fully fit and playing on a weekly basis.
Real Madrid were heavily linked with a move for the defender during the summer window, but in the end a move never happened as the Blues opted to keep hold of James as Madrid did not want to pay the massive fee it would take to get a deal done.
Barcelona, Madrid and Benfica have all been linked with a move for the defender, but according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are not considering any offers for James and they have ruled out a possible sale.
