Real Madrid need to strengthen their right-back position, a fact that no one can deny or deny. It is clear that Florentino Perez cannot continue to ignore this matter, and in the summer he will have to sign a player who will solve the problems in this demarcation. Dani Carvajal is living his second youth period, but despite this we should not forget that he is already at an advanced age, and that injuries have plagued him in recent years.
Also, Lucas Vazquez’s contract expires in June, and will not be renewed, while promising Vinicius Tobias is still very ‘green’, and does not look ready to move to the first team. Going to the market is a duty and a necessity, and there are several candidates for this appointment. But the president has a clear favorite over the rest, and he intends to take action on it before the end of the current school year
It comes down to Reece James, who remains the No. 1 candidate at the Santiago Bernabéu to occupy the right lane. There is little explanation to be made, because there is no doubt that he is one of the best full-backs on the planet, and he has shown that in recent years at Chelsea, where he is one of the stars of the team, one of the stars of the team. One of the idols of the fans. In fact, he was appointed team captain when Cesar Azpilicueta’s departure to Atletico Madrid was announced
A responsibility that was not great for the England international, even though he is only 23 years old, and who will turn 24 next December. He is a natural leader, and Madrid are convinced that it is worth making a major investment in bringing him into the team. This process has long been recommended by Carlo Ancelotti, but has been ignored. However, Florentino Pérez now decided to attack and seal the deal
He could offer more than €65m to try to persuade Todd Buhle to give the nod, allowing the former Wigan Athletic club to escape to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2024, even if he has a long-term contract.
An assist from Florentino Perez to James
Florentino Pérez is optimistic about this option, and has an ace up his sleeve. He is convinced that James can force him to leave Stamford Bridge, as Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois did at the time, if they do not qualify for the Champions League.
Given the current situation of the Blues, who are in tenth place, eight points behind Liverpool, who are in fourth place, it seems unlikely that they will get a ticket to qualify for the major continental competition.
