Spanish side Real Madrid are eyeing a cut-price deal for Chelsea right-back Reece James in the summer, according to Spanish media outlet Marca.

Real Madrid have always admired the England international and are hoping to sign him this season with Chelsea expected to be forced to sell players in the summer due to Financial Fair Play rules.

After spending about £600million on new signings this season alone, the Blues will have to trim our bloated squad and Real Madrid think they can snap up James for just £44 million (€50m).
