With Dani Carvajal injured and Liverpool unwilling to part with Trent Alexander-Arnold this window, Real Madrid have turned their attention to Reece James as a short-term solution. Despite James’ recent return to form, including a stunning free-kick against Bournemouth, Chelsea are unlikely to agree to a loan move for their captain and key player. Real Madrid's interest stems from their ongoing search for a reliable right-back, with Alexander-Arnold remaining their primary target for a summer transfer.
- Real Madrid’s Right-Back Dilemma:
- Injuries to Dani Carvajal have left Real Madrid short of options.
- Their primary target, Trent Alexander-Arnold, is unavailable until his contract expires in the summer.
- Reece James Loan Consideration:
- Real Madrid are exploring a loan deal for James to cover their defensive needs.
- Vinicius Junior has praised James’ abilities, highlighting his past performances against the Spanish side.
- Chelsea’s Stance:
- As Chelsea’s captain and a critical player, James is unlikely to be loaned out.
- Chelsea would not benefit from losing their leader mid-season, especially for a temporary deal.
