Serie A giants Juventus are keen to sign French international N’Golo Kante from Chelsea on a free transfer in the upcoming summer window.
After graduating from the Boulogne academy, N’Golo Kante made his senior debut for the club. He played one season for Boulogne before joining Ligue 2 side Caen.
Kante helped Caen reach Ligue 1 when they finished third in the Ligue 2 table. The French midfielder was later signed by English Premier League side Leicester City for a fee of £5.6m. In his first season with the club, Leicester surprised everyone and became champions of England.
The following season he joined Chelsea for a fee of £32 million. He soon became one of the mainstays of the Chelsea team. Kante went on to win a further English Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League with the Blues. The midfielder was also a key part of the France team that lifted the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Juventus follow Kante
Now, according to a report from Calciomercato, Serie A giants Juventus are looking to sign French midfielder N’Golo Kante from Chelsea in the upcoming summer transfer window.
After a decade of dominance in Serie A, Juventus have failed to finish in the top three in their last two terms. The Italian giants are off to a very poor start to their current season.
They have only won four of their first ten matches. With sixteen points from ten matches, Juventus are currently in eighth position in the Italian league.
Their recent record in the UEFA Champions League is even worse. Juventus lose three of their first four Champions League games. This includes an embarrassing loss against Maccabi Haifa.
The Juventus management currently understands his situation quite well. That is why they want to sign more players to improve their squad. For this, they are looking for multiple free agents whom they can sign for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, N’Golo Kante’s contract with Chelsea is also coming to an end next summer and he will be a free agent. Hence the Bianconeri have found interest in him.
Now Kante has been suffering from injuries since last season. the midfielder has missed quite a few games lately. He suffered another injury in the last week and is now ruled out for the year.
This also means that Kante will not be able to participate in the upcoming World Cup in Qatar 2022. This is a big blow for the French team.
Now, due to these injuries, Chelsea remain in a dilemma over Kante’s contract renewal. But as things progress, the midfielder may not be renewed.
Now that will be a great opportunity for Juventus to sign N’Golo Kante who will surely add more quality to their lineup.
