To ensure their future right-back position, Real Madrid is still interested in acquiring Reece James for €50 million in 2025. Real Madrid is still interested in signing James, despite the fact that the English defender has signed a deal to stay at Chelsea until 2029. With this new, longer contract in place, Chelsea will be able to demand a substantial transfer price from any potential suitors.
However, over the last 18 months, James has struggled with ailments, particularly a nagging hamstring issue. Before implementing their 2025 strategy, Real Madrid is keeping a careful eye on his rehabilitation in the hopes that he would return to his usual brilliant form. The estimated price tag of €50 million has been the subject of much speculation.
It’s worth noting that Real Madrid may have considered acquiring James during the summer transfer window but ultimately chose to hold off, maybe to see how his injury condition develops. Under new owner Todd Boehly, Chelsea has been ready to make major player moves, as seen by the departures of Kai Havertz and Mason Mount. The new owner’s desire to refresh the team is clear from the significant investments in young players that have been made this summer.

The ageing Dani Carvajal, still a key player in the right-back position, is a big reason why Real Madrid has 2025 as a goal. But by 2025, when Carvajal will be 33, it will be time to start thinking about his replacement. Real Madrid believes that Reece James is the best man for the job. They are counting on James’s performance with the English national team with Jude Bellingham in order to sign him.

James, barring more injury, is not expected to be an exception in the trend of players who reject Real Madrid’s overtures. In 2025, Real Madrid will decide whether or not to pursue him based on the expectation that he will be fully recovered from his many previous injuries. This strategic move demonstrates how serious they are about protecting their investment in the right-back position without violating their agreement with Chelsea.
