Chelsea are reportedly ready to hand Reece James a new contract once their takeover has been completed.
The sanctions on current owner Roman Abramovich mean the Blues cannot currently offer any of their players or staff new contracts, but it looks like tying James down to a new and improved deal will be a priority once the club is under new ownership, according to 90min.
James has risen up through the Chelsea academy to become one of the club’s most important first-team players in recent times, and it makes sense that they’re eager to ensure the England international is committed for the long-term.
According to 90min, there has been some recent interest in James from Real Madrid, though Chelsea remain relatively relaxed about the situation.
