Defensa Central claims that Real Madrid has been given the opportunity to recruit N'Golo Kante for free at the end of the current campaign. However, rumors suggest that Los Blancos have rejected the chance.
Kante's contract with Chelsea expires in the summer, and he has experienced severe injury issues over the past couple of seasons. The Frenchman is currently anticipated to quit the club after his contract expires.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain have all been heavily linked to the 31-year-old midfielder. However, Los Blancos are hesitant to take Kante.
Kante prefers to join Barca
The aforementioned may not have a significant effect on Kante. SPORT reports that the France international would want to join Barcelona than stay at Stamford Bridge beyond his current contract.
Xavi is said to be a big admirer of Kante. The Barcelona manager has already signed Andreas Christensen and Marcos Alonso from Chelsea and Kante could join his former teammates in the summer.
There is one condition, though. Barca are said to want assurances that Kante, who is currently sidelined with a long-term injury, is fully fit before he completes a move to the Camp Nou.
Blues want Juranovic
Chelsea are interested in signing Celtic and Croatia defender Josip Juranovic, according to football journalist Simon Phillips. The 27-year-old has been impressive for Croatia in the World Cup so far and that has attracted Chelsea even more.
Juranovic could prove to be an excellent back-up option to Reece James, who has struggled with injury issues over the past two seasons. The Croatian still has three-and-a-half years remaining on his contract at Celtic Park.
