Man City and Real Madrid are currently racing to sign Reece James, one of the most important stars in the Chelsea squad.

Looking ahead to the 2024-25 season, Man City and Real Madrid have a common plan to improve the right corridor.

The target that the two opponents aim for in the 2024 summer transfer window is Reece James, star of Chelsea as well as the England team.

Man City desperately needs a high-quality factor to replace Kyle Walker on the right wing.

Not only that, Pep Guardiola’s requirement is that a right-back can take on the role of centre-back when switching to a 3-man defense.

Reece James completely meets Pep’s football requirements. He excelled in these two roles, especially while working with Thomas Tuchel.

Last summer, Walker asked to be transferred to Bayern Munich. Pep spent a lot of effort to convince him to stay at Etihad Stadium.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid targets Reece James to succeed the older Dani Carvajal, who has physical limitations.

President Florentino Perez has been interested in Reece James for a long time, after witnessing direct confrontations between Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is succeeding with the Jude Bellingham deal. Therefore, Perez is even more determined to win James’ signature.

Reece James’ contract with Chelsea is valid until 2028. Real Madrid and Man City will certainly have to spend very high numbers to achieve their goals.
