We’re well out of transfer season now, fixed between the summer and winter windows, but that doesn’t stop the rumour mill churning.
Today it’s a particularly mad one: Reece James to Real Madrid.
Confusingly it’s El Nacional, a Catalan outfit, reporting on the potential deal. They say that Madrid are looking for a long term replacement for Dani Carvajal, who has been injured on and off for a couple of seasons now, and looks to be at the end of his time there.
James is the man they’ve settled on, with current boss Carlo Ancelotti said to be a big fan of his.
We can’t see this happening, in any form. We just let Tino Livramento go to Southampton because we’re so committed to James. To let him go too would be madness.
In the meantime, we can just be flattered that our Cobham products are getting attention from the very best.
Rubbish from real Madrid Chelsea is not a small club or do they forget that they were bitten by Chelsea both home and away last season.
