Barcelona tipped to launch surprise move for Chelsea star | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona are giving consideration to what would come as a surprise move for Chelsea star Reece James.

That’s according to Diario Sport, citing sources in England, who point towards James as having made his way onto the radar of the Blaugrana.

The England international, who boasts captain status in Enzo Maresca’s squad, is understood to be giving consideration to a move away from west London.

This comes amid professional advice to seek out a country with a warmer climate than England, to aid his long-standing fitness problems.

Barcelona, in turn, are named as one potential landing spot, with the Blaugrana both on the lookout for reinforcements at full-back, and always attentive to market opportunities.

It remains to be seen whether the Camp Nou brass would be capable of satisfying what would no doubt be considerable demands for James on the part of their counterparts at Stamford Bridge, though.
