Chelsea have deposited a value of 60 million pounds in N’Golo Kante, while Real Madrid records their interest in the midfielder, adding Football Insider.
As revealed on this online page on Thursday, Frank Lampard is in a position to let the 29-year-old leave this summer after being informed that he had to sell players to finance a move from Declan Rice, an executor of West Ham.
A source of Stamford Bridge told Football Insider that Spanish giants Real Madrid and Italian heavyweights Inter Milan had approached Kante, their demands are still at an early stage.
Rice, 21, is the Blues’ first target this summer, but they want to raise cash after an unprecedented recruiting crusade in which men like Timo Werner and Ben Chilwell signed up for Lampard’s men.
Football Insider revealed earlier this week that Chelsea was about to make a new offer for the West Ham star as part of a cash deal plus player of 70 million pounds.
It is understood that the money raised from Kante’s departure would be used to take the Hammers and the ace from England to Stamford Bridge.
The Frenchman, who joined the Blues since Leicester City in 2016, has endured a 2019/20 campaign plagued by injuries, while ankle and hamstring disorders have knocked him out for much of the season.
Kante made a total of 170 appearances for the club and won the Premier League and FA Cup during his stay in London.
He has three years left on his contract after the pen on paper on a five-year contract in 2018.
