N'Golo Kante wants to leave Chelsea?

France international N'Golo Kante has reportedly been tipped to make the move to Real Madrid from Chelsea when the current season comes to a close.

The midfielder has been influential towards the Blues' success in recent campaigns and he is currently one of the undisputed starters when fit.

Kante still has more than three years remaining on his existing deal with the Blues but El Desmarque claims that he has an interest in pursuing a fresh challenge next summer.

The same publication indicates that Los Blancos would be the midfielder's preferred destination, particularly with manager Zinedine Zidane said to be a keen admirer of his services.

Earlier this summer, Kante snubbed the chance to join Paris Saint-Germain and he personally stated his desire to remain with the Blues for the length of his contract.

The former Caen midfielder has remained loyal to the west London giants over the past three years and it would come as a huge surprise, should he make the switch to the Bernabeu ahead of next season.
