European giants interested in N'Golo Kante

Juventus have reportedly joined Real Madrid in the race to lure midfielder N'Golo Kante from Chelsea during the forthcoming transfer window.

The Frenchman has been with the Blues for the past two-and-a-half years but he has occasionally struggled this term with manager Maurizio Sarri deciding to play him away from his preferred holding midfield role.

In recent days, Real Madrid have been touted to make an approach with Zinedine Zidane returning to the helm but TuttoSport claims that they could face stiff competition from Juventus this summer.

The Bianconeri have already clinched the services of Arsenal playmaker Aaron Ramsey on a Bosman ahead of next season, but they seem intent on signing a holding midfielder to complete their squad.

Still, neither club may have the advantage in luring the midfielder, given he has more than four years on his Blues deal, and the club have the time on their hands to neglect any bids for the midfielder.

Moreover, the west London side are presently under a two-window transfer ban and this could likewise hamper any agreement going through at the end of the campaign.
