A year after making an approach to sign the skilled defender Real Madrid is ready to freshen their bid. The European Champions are optimistic that they can get James for “just £44m” this summer, as Chelsea will have no choice but to sell some players. The 23-year-old star attracts Madrid as a key alternative to replace Dani Carvajal.
The English right-back, however, signed a six-year deal with the Blues last year, which is allegedly worth around £ 250,000 per week. This sizeable salary makes James the highest-paid defender in the club’s history and one of the best-paid players in Europe.
