Real Madrid are ready to spend £90m on Chelsea star Reece James
Chelsea and Real face each other tonight in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash.
The Spaniards lead the tie 2-0 following last week’s win at the Bernabeu.
But Real are also looking to beat Chelsea off the pitch as well as on it.
According to Fijaches, Los Blancos are hoping to sign no less than four players from Stamford Bridge.
Top of their list is right-back James, 23, who is regarded as one of the best players in his position.
The defender only signed a new five-year deal in September.
Real are in “no hurry” to sign James, but they would like to have him in as a replacement for the ageing Dani Carvajal.
Next on their list is Mateo Kovacic, who is out of contract in 2024.
The 28-year-old spent three years at Real before joining Chelsea in 2018.
But Los Blancos chiefs are keen on a free transfer return when his deal expires, with the club expecting to lose either Luka Modric or Toni Kroos next year.
The third player Real want is Mason Mount, also out of contract in 2024.
Carlo Ancelotti would prefer to make a move this summer as the England man, 24, stalls on signing a new Chelsea deal.
But Real are also willing to bide their time and land Mount for nothing next year should the Blues play hardball over a fee.
Finally, the Spaniards are also exploring a move for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, 27.
They are big fans of the ace’s versatility as a central midfielder and right-sider.
Like Mount, he is being targeted this summer but could also end up going on a free transfer in 2024.
