Chelsea make decision to let £200k-a-week star leave Stamford Bridge

CHELSEA have made the decision that they will allow in-prone defender Reece James to leave the club in the upcoming January window.

The academy graduate was named captain ahead of the 2023-24 season but went on to endure a frustrating campaign, with injuries restricting him to just 11 appearances in all competitions.

This season has been any better and many fans are wondering what will happen with James, as the defender will no longer be first choice when he is fully fit and playing on a weekly basis.

Real Madrid were heavily linked with a move for the defender during the summer window, but in the end a move never happened as the club opted to keep hold of James as Madrid did not want to pay the massive fee it would take to get a deal done.

Now, Simion Phillips provided an important update about the situation on his substack Si Phillips Talks Chelsea. He said as per one of his sources, the club are very likely to put Reece James on sale in 2025.

There will be some big changes for the club in the January window and we are fully expecting the new boss to shake things up – but we are sure that James will be kept in the January window

He is a world class player and just needs to stay fit, i hope that he is not sold unless there is no chance of him getting back to his best
