He Chelsea He has been following in the footsteps of Fede Valverde. The London club, which despite investing a lot of money, is unable to return to the elite of English and European football, is not going to give up and will continue signing until it competes face to face with Manchester City again. In the case of Fede Valverde, however, the Chelsea has a plan, that of offering in exchange for the Uruguayan a player who has been on the team’s agenda for some time. Real Madrid, Reece James.
Both players are valued at an amount close to 80 million euros, so Chelsea intends to carry out an exchange, a way to achieve the objectives without having to take out the wallet. Real Madrid, which needs to raise funds to reinforce its squad, would obtain a desired player at zero cost.

Fede Valverde, without prominence in Madrid
When the time comes, Real Madrid will not close the door on the operation, far from it. Fede Valverde has had a worrying drop in performance since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, to which was later added all the controversy over his aggression on Alex Baena in the parking lot of the Santiago Bernabéu. Added to all this is that Real Madrid’s midfield is very well covered, with players like Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Bellingham, Modric, Kroos, Dani Ceballos y Brahim Diaz.
Added to all this is the change in Carlo Ancelotti’s system, who to introduce Bellingham has changed the 4-3-3 to a diamond 4-4-2, with the Englishman as a playmaker, to bring him closer to the area. Without a right winger, Fede Valverde has lost the position in which he was performing best. And Ancelotti does not see Valverde as an inside player, where the player, without space to run, loses a lot.

Reece James, Chelsea transfer card
On the other hand, Real Madrid could really use Reece James, a player who has been on their agenda for some time. The Englishman is one of the best right backs in the world, as he demonstrated in the last tie against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Madrid needs a right back, since Dani Carvajal cannot play everything, so the arrival of James would be excellent news.
Reece James’ big problem, and the main reason why Chelsea consider him transferable, is his constant injuries. Last season, without going any further, he missed 25 games, due to 4 different injuries. And this season, the right-back has only been able to play one game, with Liverpool, more than a month ago. In that match the defender injured his muscle, and he is still in the infirmary.
