Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is reportedly 'desperate' to prevent Reece James from joining Manchester City or Real Madrid. The England international has two-and-a-half years left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge and is keen to extend his stay at the club.
A report by the Daily Mail suggests that the new Chelsea owner wants to extend James' contract as a matter of urgency. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is said to be a keen admirer of Reece James. Real Madrid are also said to be monitoring the ongoings at Stamford Bridge.
The 22-year-old came through the Chelsea academy and made his first-team debut in 2018. He underwent a one-year loan spell at Wigan Athletic in the 2018-19 season and made 46 appearances in all competitions for the Latics.
He scored three goals and provided three assists at the DW Stadium before returning to Stamford Bridge to become a mainstay for the Blues.
James has made 123 appearances in all competitions for the west London outfit, scoring nine goals and providing 18 assists in all competitions. He is a firm fan favorite at Stamford Bridge and is also established on the international scene, having won 13 caps for England.
Many have tipped the right-back to become one of the all-time greats at Chelsea and the first step towards achieving this would be by extending his contract with the club.
