Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has urged the club\'s hierarchy to sign Chelsea defender Reece James this summer.
The England international has been a key player for the Blues over the past three years, making over 100 appearances.
His performances have earned him plenty of plaudits, and The Mirror claims that Madrid are one of his main admirers.
Los Blancos have been watching him closely during the ongoing campaign. They have scouted him on nine occasions.
James still has three years remaining on his contract with the Blues, but Los Blancos are prepared to test the club\'s resolve.
The west London giants will have a new owner this summer. They may need to recoup funds before making new purchases.
Los Blancos are prepared to make a significant bid for James, who they believe has plenty of room for development.
He is being earmarked as a replacement for Dani Carvajal, who has missed several games over the past few years with injuries.
