The right-back is considering leaving the London club. Barcelona and Benfica would be on the lookout for the player
Reece James would be considering leaving Chelsea. The defender has been in dry dock for a long time due to his frequent injuries. The last game he played was against Real Madrid in preseason on August 7. This season he has not yet participated in any match, while last season he only played 11 matches.
The 24-year-old full-back would have spoken with his agent about leaving Stamford Bridge. James has been one of the fundamental pieces of the ‘blues’ in great achievements such as the Champions League won in 2021.
FC Barcelona and Benfica show their interest
Both Hansi Flick’s team and Bruno Lage’s team would have been interested in signing the Englishman. The footballer, who has also been linked to Real Madrid in the past, could finally end up in the whites’ greatest rival if the operation goes through.
One of the reasons for his departure could be the physiotherapists’ recommendation for a change of scenery, since both LaLiga and the Portuguese Primeira Liga are less frenetic than the Premier League.
