JAKARTA - Barcelona is rumored to be attracting a French star, N'Golo Kante. In fact, rumors circulated that the two parties had agreed to a pre-contract agreement.
Kante's contract with Chelsea will indeed expire next summer. There is no sign of the player extending his contract.
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez is interested in signing him despite Kante grappling more with injury by 2022.
According to the Spanish daily Sport, an agreement between the two sides could be reached by January next year at the earliest. Kante will be Sergio Busquets' replacement who may leave next summer.
Kante will be paired with Pedri and Gavi who are considered Barcelona's midfield future. This makes Frenkie de Jong's future even more uncertain.
Apart from Kante, Barca is also monitoring Jorginho who is also a Chelsea player, and Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans, both free of transfers this summer.
But the choice fell to Kante considering the Frenchman is a key component of Chelsea's Premier League and champions of the Champions League.
