Chelsea open to selling N'Golo Kante

Chelsea are reportedly willing to sanction the sale of midfielder N'Golo Kante, should one of Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain meet their asking price.

The Frenchman has been with the Blues since the summer of 2016 and over the past three-and-a-half seasons, he has won the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League with the west London giants.

However, he has struggled with injuries during the course of the current campaign and it appears that the club are ready to sanction his sale with the quality options in their midfield.

According to L'Equipe, Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane remains a keen admirer of Kante's talents and he wants to partner him alongside Paul Pogba in the club's midfield next term.

Les Parisiens, on the other hand, are looking to strengthen their squad further and they are prepared to make a bid for Kane when he becomes available in the transfer market.

Kante has more than three years remaining on his existing deal with the Blues. Frank Lampard's side are likely to demand around £80m to part ways with the midfielder.
