Premier League club, Chelsea will reportedly demand £80 million from any club that requires the services of French midfielder, N’Golo Kante this summer, according to multiple reports in the UK press. The 29-year-old’s future is seemingly uncertain with Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard reportedly undecided whether or not to make him part of his plans.
The Express reports that Chelsea have decided they would accept any offers of £80 million should they come in. Italian club, Inter Milan look the most likely side make a move for Kante in this transfer window.
Current Inter Milan manager, Antonio Conte brought Kante from Leicester to Stamford Bridge in 2016 and it is thought that the Italian would be keen on a reunion at the San Siro. Conte has already snapped up Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku, Christian Eriksen, Ashley Young and Victor Moses from the Premier League since joining Inter a year ago. Landing the World Cup and two-time Premier League winner would be a major coup for the Europa League finalists, who are also eyeing unsettled FC Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi.
Conte is also keen on fellow Chelsea stars Olivier Giroud and Emerson Palmieri from his former side – although faces a stand-off with Inter to get his transfer requests approved. The Italian outfit needs to raise funds in order to fund a move for Kante, even before trying to match his £150,000-a-week wages.
