N’Golo Kante and Chelsea are expected to hold a new round of talks surrounding his contract extension soon. The player is keen on staying since he loves the club, the city and the fans.
However, the terms need to be favourable for him to continue. And the current feeling is a 50/50 chance for him to be a Chelsea player next season. The situation on his renewal was previously quite grim, since the two parties were far apart on the salary. Now, that figure is open for discussion which means that the midfielder could end up continuing with the Blues for the foreseeable future.
N’Golo Kante and Chelsea to discuss new contract soon
The Frenchman has only made two appearances for Chelsea this season. He has been dealing with an injury he sustained in the London derby against Spurs. And several setbacks in his recovery have hindered his role in the squad, as well as the certainty that he would be staying.
Barcelona are one of the clubs interested in pouncing on the midfielder if he doesn’t stay at Chelsea. However, they will not be able to match the financial offer that the Blues are making.
N’Golo Kante’s recent injury record might force him to take a pay cut to continue at Stamford Bridge. But with talks expected to take place very soon, we could have a concrete update on the issue once the discussions have taken place.
Chelsea have had to endure a very difficult season so far, and are currently tenth in the table. The absence of Kante haa been a huge blow for the team this year. He is expected to come back to full fitness next month, and even then, he must be eased back into action having missed the majority of the year, as well as the World Cup.
