Real Madrid is seriously exploring the possibility of signing Chelsea's captain, Reece James, in the upcoming transfer windows, according to various sources. Despite his remarkable talent, the English full-back has suffered a series of injuries that have raised doubts about his physical consistency, a key aspect that the "merengues" will need to assess before finalizing any offer. The white club is in search of reinforcements for their defense, and James appears as a prominent option to strengthen the right flank of their defensive line.

Real Madrid's interest in James is not recent, as the Blues' captain has been on the Spanish team's radar for a while. With the need to find a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal, James's name has gained weight within the "merengue" board. However, the player's recurring physical problems could be an obstacle to closing a potential signing. The 24-year-old right-back only played 11 games last season and is currently out due to a thigh injury.

Reece James, on Real Madrid's radar

Despite these setbacks, Real Madrid sees in James a player with all the necessary characteristics to adapt to their style of play. His defensive ability, combined with his skill to join the attack, make him a desired asset to reinforce the team in the near future. However, his physical condition will be a determining factor.

If James manages to stay fit and fully recover from his injuries, Real Madrid's interest could materialize in a concrete offer. Otherwise, the "blancos" could consider other alternatives, such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, in their search for a right-back to ensure long-term stability.
