Kante could leave Chelsea for free in summer!

One of the most important absecnes in the World Cup will be that of N'Golo Kante. The French defensive midfielder will not be able to be in Didier Deschamps' squad for the tournament which takes place in less than a month's time in Qatar. Something which could also affect his club. 

And the thing is that Chelsea and the midfielder are unable to reach an agreement on his new contract and turbulent negotiations mean that a contract renewal looks less and less likely. One of the clubs who are following the situation closely is Barca, who want to keep on buying free agents. 

Kante has a contract until June 2023 and journalist Fabrizio Romano said that the French footballer is thinking of leaving Stamford Bridge for free in the summer. The player is not at all certain about his future, but time is passing and his injury will leave him out of action for four months. 

He shone at Leicester in the year they won the Premier League and the West Londoners wasted no time in going after him. After six years as a Chelsea player, Kante could put an end to his time at Chelsea and join another footballing project such as Barcelona's. There, he could take over from Busquets.
