Kante missed Chelsea's games against Leeds and Leicester because of a thigh injury and there are concerns that he may not be available again until the start of October.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel wants to keep Kante but admitted that his age, salary and injury record will come into consideration when fresh terms are offered.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Leicester, Tuchel said: 'No, you cannot [disregard Kante's injury record]. You have to consider everything that is on the table — his potential, his influence and his quality. But [also] on the table of course is his age, his salary and his injury rate. From there you build a whole picture and try to find a solution.'
If he has not agreed a new deal by January then Kante will be free to talk to other clubs, including Christophe Galtier's PSG.
