Ancelotti tells Perez that there is a more important signing than Haaland for Real Madrid

With the Kylian Mbappe deal closed, Carlo Ancelotti was very clear that the weak position in Real Madrid’s squad is the right-back. It is necessary to strengthen the attack candidate for Haaland and sign another central defender, but above all it is necessary to include a right-back from the first level.

The right-back chosen by the Italian coach is Reece James, a Chelsea player, who made a real match against Real Madrid. Ancelotti, who has already put the England player in the spotlight, was amazed at the full-back’s level when he saw him playing on the right side at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The great advantage that Florentino Perez plays is the situation in which Chelsea finds himself, with Roman Abramovich gone due to British government sanctions and still looking for a buyer. The club is going through a very delicate situation that is causing many players to think about their future, including Reece James.

With Dani Carvajal off his best and with his frequent injuries and Real Madrid’s starting door wide open, the Whites’ management have been scouring the market for weeks in search of the right full-back. They tested Pedro Borro, of Portugal’s Sporting Lisbon, as well as Juan Foyth, an Argentine player at Villarreal, but their favorite is Reece James. Some time ago, signing was almost impossible, as he is one of the great pearls of Chelsea and English football, but now Real Madrid is optimistic.

Florentino Perez knows that if Chelsea are open to negotiating, they will do so with a club outside the Premier League rather than a direct competitor, because the Blues don’t even want to imagine James strengthening Manchester City, Manchester United or Liverpool. They will sell it to Real Madrid. The player’s value is estimated at 50 million euros, an amount that Real Madrid can afford without problems, since being a player of only 22 years old can easily be recovered.

Born in London in 1999, Rhys James got into Chelsea’s lower-team squad at the age of just six. So he is a player from home, much loved by the fans. Before he could make his debut with the squad, he had to prove his worth in a momentous move to Wigan, as James’s 2018/19 season with the Latex was impressive, proving that he is a star born into the next decade.

Rhys James is a true physical prodigy, a player capable of scouring the entire match up and down the squad, defending at a high level and attacking dangerously.

This performance convinced the Chelsea coaches and the player joined the first team. In less than 3 seasons he has already played 75 games for Chelsea, and during this period he suffered several muscle injuries as a result of his physical strength. The plan was for James to be the great reference for Chelsea, a future captain, but the club’s status could make him sign for Real Madrid.
