“No Matter The Amount Of Money They Offer Us For Him, We Would Never Let Him Go. He’s Really Essential To The Club” – Pochettino Confirms As Chelsea Swiftly Turned Down A Huge Offer Exceeding £100 Million From A Rival Premier League For Their Exceptional Attacking Genius.
Despite Chelsea’s current standing in the middle of the Premier League standings, the team boasts a lineup brimming with highly skilled and valuable players. Within their ranks, there’s an abundance of young talents overflowing with potential, though their lack of experience has presented challenges throughout this season.
Of particular focus are the core English players such as Reece James, Cole Palmer, and Levi Colwill, all of whom carry significant valuations at Stamford Bridge. Additionally, the South American duo of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez were each acquired for over £100 million to bolster the club’s roster in West London.
Notably, there’s a Chelsea player whom the club is unwaveringly determined not to part with under any circumstances. They would reject offers exceeding £100 million without hesitation for this particular player. Recent reports from 90min confirm that Chelsea’s captain, Reece James, falls into this category of untouchable players for any potential sale this summer.
Despite showcasing his world-class talent on numerous occasions, the 24-year-old defender has grappled with recurring injury issues throughout his career. Real Madrid, in their pursuit of a new right-back, acknowledges James’ quality, yet they find the idea of pursuing a transfer for the Chelsea captain currently impractical due to various reasons.
It’s emphasized that Reece James has never entertained the thought of leaving Stamford Bridge and remains fully committed to his childhood club. According to the report, Chelsea wouldn’t entertain any offers for James, and in fact, they would likely rebuff any bid exceeding £100 million without hesitation. Additionally, Real Madrid would need to have greater confidence in James’ injury history before considering a move.
This season, James has faced significant fitness challenges, with his last appearance for Chelsea dating back to December. Despite this, he has only featured nine times across all competitions in the current campaign. However, as a Champions League winner, the academy graduate is highly regarded for his abilities as a right-back when fit.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino lauded James as “unbelievable” during an interview with beIN SPORTS Asia in November. Nevertheless, there remains uncertainty surrounding his return to action. Pochettino provided an update on James’ injury status, stating via The Evening Standard that they will assess it week by week and hope he will be available by the end of the season.
