Bayern and Real Madrid to battle for Chelsea star?

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid could go head-to-head to sign Chelsea captain Reece James next year.

The England international is one of the best full-backs in the world, but he has struggled for regular minutes this year due to injury concerns.

James continues to remain committed to the Blues, but Fichajes claim that his situation could change next summer if the club underperform this term.

The Blues have made a dreadful start to the Premier League season, and they are currently on just five points after the first five games.

With the way things are going, the club could realistically miss out on Champions League football for the second straight campaign.

Should this happen, James may start pondering over a change, particularly with Bayern and Madrid among contenders to land his signature.

James would be assured of the chance to win regular trophies at both clubs compared to Chelsea, who are going through a long transitional period.
