N’Golo Kante is in talks with Chelsea over a new contract, sources have confirmed. The central midfielder’s current contract with the club will lapse in June.

According to reports, Chelsea is expected to offer him a new three-year deal worth through June 2026. Multiple reports have claimed that negotiations between the two parties have gone smoothly.

Despite the challenging period being faced by the club as of late, Kante remains satisfied at Chelsea and intends to remain at the club. Even as injuries have hampered Kante’s ability to perform over the last two seasons, manager Graham Potter and the club’s new owners remain keen to keep the French midfielder at the club. Potter sees Kante as an ideal partner to new signing Enzo Fernandez, who won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina.

Kante arrived at Chelsea in 2016, fresh after his Premier League title win with Leicester City. Since arriving at Stamford Bridge, Kante has won the Premier League, Europa League, and Champions League.

The 31-year-old player has been sidelined since August last year, missing out on the World Cup as a result. Recently, he returned to training with the team and is soon to return to first-team action.

Serie A giants Inter Milan seem to have taken an interest in Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante. Inter boss Antonio Conte has reportedly directed his scouting network in the direction of Kante to replace Christian Eriksen, the former Tottenham Hotspur winger who seems likely to leave the club despite only arriving in January.

Chelsea is believed to have made Kante available for transfer due to their excessive spending throughout this summer’s transfer window. To date, they have spent an estimated £200 million on new signings. Just some of the big names arriving at Stamford Bridge in time for next season include Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, and Thiago Silva.

Chelsea’s most expensive signing of the lot, however, has been 21-year-old Kai Havertz, who arrived at the club for a cool £72 million price tag. While Kante might be a casualty of Chelsea’s excessive spending habits, the London club will not be willing to part with Kante for anything less than £80 million. Other Blues’ players who have also caught the attention of Inter Milan include full back Emerson Palmieri and striker Olivier Giroud.

Inter Milan’s top signing so far is right back Achraf Hakimi from Real Madrid for €40 million. They also committed to signing loanee Alexis Sanchez on a free permanent deal from Manchester United.
