Chelsea have been warned that club captain Reece James may not sign a new long-term contract if they don’t back his ambition in the coming transfer windows.
The 26-year-old has excelled at both full-back and in central midfield, while also establishing himself as a key figure in Thomas Tuchel’s England side ahead of this summer’s World Cup.
But the CHELSEA Captain wants to carry on winning trophies and Cundy Believes that James may be open to leaving the club at the end of the season if the board do not meet the ambitions of James, and there could be a few clubs interested.
And Cundy even claimed that the club’s owner BlueCo may decide to cash in on James this summer if there are indications that their captain is willing to run down his contract and leave on a free: ‘Watch this space,’ Cundy said on talkSPORT. ‘They are going to have to do something about that. We need to keep Reece James. Let me tell you now, we need to get Reece around a table and sign a new contract.
‘We’ve seen what Trent did at Liverpool. If it gets to 18 months left, you can’t allow him to get into his final year because then he will potentially walk for nothing.
‘We’ve just seen Marc Guehi leave for a song. He’s worth three times what Manchester City paid for him.
‘One of the things I understood from the new owners when they came in was they were astonished that we allowed Rudiger and Christensen – worth well over £100m between them two of them – to walk on a free.
‘They could not get around the fact that the previous regime allowed that to happen. So I will be stunned and amazed if they allowed Reece to have so much power without signing a new contract.’
IcFootballnews Says…
James has shown no real desire to want to leave CHELSEA, there is not too much interest and to be honest, Chelsea will only sell if a new deal can be agreed and a crazy fee is offered.
It is that simple.
