Real Madrid is eyeing Chelsea’s Reece James as the potential replacement for their seasoned right-back Dani Carvajal. The Spanish giants have been closely monitoring the Chelsea captain, impressed by his performances. Manager Carlo Ancelotti, in particular, has been pleased with James, as reported by Mundo Deportivo. Despite James having a contract with Stamford Bridge until 2028 and showing no intention of leaving, Real Madrid sees him as a suitable successor for Carvajal.
Carvajal, with an impressive record of 386 appearances over a decade with Madrid, has been a key player, contributing significantly to the team’s victories in three La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey titles, and five Champions League trophies. However, his peak years at the club are now in the past.
