Real Madrid are not going to sell one of their players to Chelsea this summer it seems.
After a poor season in the Premier League, Chelsea will probably try to strengthen their team in the transfer window.
Mauricio Pochettino‘s men are currently ninth in the table, though they do have a couple of games in hand.
Coming into this campaign, they would have wanted to be in the top four in April.
While Real Madrid look reluctant to sell one of their assets to Chelsea, the two clubs could still do business when the transfer window reopens. It has been reported that the Spanish giants have been scouting Reece James and that their English counterparts would consider a big offer for him.
Real Madrid will not sell player to Chelsea
Real Madrid have a squad with so much quality. Pochettino would probably take any player at the Santiago Bernabeu.
One man who Los Blancos look unwilling to part ways with, however, is Brahim Diaz.
According to Defensa Central, they are not thinking about selling the 24-year-old attacking midfielder to Chelsea and are not considering putting him on the market, though their stance could change if he asks to leave.
Diaz has impressed for Real Madrid this season, scoring an incredible solo goal against RB Leipzig in February.
Why Chelsea do not need to sign Brahim Diaz
After spells at Manchester City and AC Milan, Diaz is starting to fulfil his potential at Real Madrid.
However, he is not a player that Chelsea have to go all out for this summer, largely because of Cole Palmer.
The two play in similar positions, and the latter is obviously thriving at Stamford Bridge right now.
In 25 league appearances for Chelsea this season, Palmer has come up with 24 goal contributions, recently netting a hat-trick against Manchester United.
The England international will have the chance to add to that when the Blues take on Sheffield United later today.
