Reece James leaving Chelsea?
Reece James has been put up for sale by Chelsea at a vastly reduced price due to his inability to stay fit. Reports suggest that Chelsea are open to selling him for as low as €24 million in the January transfer window. Despite being the club captain and having spent his life at Chelsea, his injury-prone nature and lack of vocal leadership are considered reasons for this decision.
Reece James, a player from Chelsea, has been advised to seek a new club to restart his career due to numerous injuries. It is suggested that he leave Chelsea and England altogether. Physiotherapists recommend he live in a warmer climate, potentially in Southern Europe, to overcome his physical issues.
Reece James has been heavily linked with a departure from Chelsea this summer.
Pochettino has indicated that some players wish to depart the Stamford Bridge club and that they have already started to work on this. James is one of the players that Pochettino mentioned specifically.
Chelsea are preparing to sell Reece James and Conor Gallagher this summer to avoid breaching the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules, according to reports. The Sunday Times insists that the Blues 'are preparing to sell the England internationals' as they look to 'bring the club’s strained Financial Fair Play position into line'. 'Moving on James and Gallagher, who came through Chelsea’s academy together, before June 30 will allow the club to treat the full amount of their transfer fees as player trading profit in their 2023-24 accounts. The Sunday Times understands that Chelsea want to generate well over £100 million in additional revenue to avoid surpassing the league’s £105 million limit on allowable losses over a three-year period.'
