Press reports indicate that a representative for a Chelsea FC player has offered their client’s services to FC Barcelona to facilitate a potential transfer.
Barcelona is looking to acquire a new right-back, particularly as coach Hansi Flick wants to utilize Jules Koundé in a central defensive role.
According to a report from Football Spain, Reece James is among the candidates being considered by Barcelona for the upcoming summer transfer window.
The report suggests that James is contemplating leaving Chelsea, and his agent has started discussions to identify the best opportunity for him. While James has also been linked to a possible move to Real Madrid, the club seems to be prioritizing another English full-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Securing James will be challenging for Barcelona, especially since Chelsea is expected to hold firm on the financial terms of any deal.
Reece James, a 24-year-old right-back, has a contract with Chelsea that runs until June 2028. He has appeared in 158 matches for the club across all competitions, scoring 11 goals and providing 22 assists.
