Recent reports indicate that a representative of a Chelsea FC star has approached Barcelona FC to offer the player’s services for a potential transfer. Barcelona is looking to strengthen their right-back position, particularly as coach Hansi Flick plans to utilize Jules Koundé as a center-back. According to Football Spain, Reece James is one of the candidates being considered for Barcelona in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The report suggests that Reece James is contemplating a move away from Chelsea FC, with his agent initiating discussions to identify the best destination for him. While there have been links to a transfer to Real Madrid FC, the club has chosen to pursue another English right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Barcelona will face challenges in their pursuit of James, particularly since Chelsea is unlikely to be flexible on the financial aspects of the deal. At 24 years old, James plays as a right-back and has a contract with Chelsea that runs until June 2028. He has made 158 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 11 goals and providing 22 assists.
