The Daily Mail reports that both Manchester City and Chelsea are interested in signing the England international.
However, according to transfer writer Romano, James is close to signing a new deal and has never been close to heading to Real Madrid.
James has already established himself as one of Europe’s greatest young players despite his early age. It’s hardly surprising that some of the top teams are interested in signing the right-back.
