Goal news, Real Madrid is one of the European giants who have approached Rees James, and their plan is to sign the full-back in the summer of 2023.
Real Madrid's priority in the short term remains the finalisation of Kylian Mbappe, and they have reached an agreement with Rudiger on a free transfer, in addition to which Ancelotti's side is also ready to bid with the Blues and Liverpool for Monaco midfielder Civamenni.
However, Gold pointed out that on the issue of James, it is clear that Chelsea will not give in easily, the 22-year-old rising star is one of the cornerstones of the Blues' top management around the future construction of the team, and his contract expires in 2025, the right-back and Mount are both key players in Chelsea's future.
On the other hand, although James is already a significant player under Tuchel, he is a low-income player in chelsea's squad like Mount, and no matter who the future Chelsea boss is, he needs to lock in these two young players first, otherwise both James and Mount may think about the future next summer.
It is reported that many European giants have asked Mount and James whether they are interested in moving freely after fulfilling their contracts in the future, but both players insist that this will not be the case, although the two have not negotiated much about the renewal so far.
Marca posted about the costs involved in Lüdiger's joining Real Madrid, including salaries and commissions.
According to the Report, Real Madrid has reached an agreement with Rudiger, the deal is just waiting for the right time to be officially announced, and according to the Marca newspaper, Rudiger will receive an annual salary of 9 million euros at Real Madrid, plus a signing fee of 8 million euros, and this money will be paid in the form of 2 million euros per year (rumoured that Rudiger will sign a 4-year contract), that is, Rudiger's annual salary will actually be 11 million euros, and the total value of the 4-year contract is 44 million euros.
In addition to this, Rudiger's signing of course involves commissions, which cost around 15 million euros, so in general, Real Madrid will invest 59 million euros to sign the center-back, which the Galactic top brass sees as a very good opportunity.
According to La Razon, Chelsea are ready to acquire Paulo Torres to replace Rudiger, who will join Real Madrid.
The 29-year-old Rudiger will join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer, so Chelsea need to buy someone to replace the centre-back, according to the Western media, the Blues have their eye on Villarreal star Torres, but Tuchel's side still need to compete with Manchester City.
