N’Golo Kante open to Inter Milan transfer
According to Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Daily Mail), Chelsea star N’Golo Kante is open to a reunion with former manager Antonio Conte at Serie A side Inter Milan.
The Nerazzurri have been hot on the trails of Kante all summer, with ex-Chelsea boss Conte keen on signing the Frenchman in order to bolster his midfield unit. (h/t Daily Mail)
It is claimed that the Italian tactician sees the World Cup winner as the final piece of the jigsaw as he looks to build a team to knock Juventus off their perch in Italy. (h/t Daily Mail)
However, Chelsea have been reluctant to offload Kante so far, and have already rejected a potential swap deal which would’ve seen either Marcelo Brozovic or Christian Eriksen arrive at the Bridge. (h/t Daily Mail)
But, as per the latest update, Kante would be very much open to a transfer to Serie A this summer.
Chelsea have been reluctant to let the 29-year-old French international leave. In fact, the club sees fellow midfield partner Jorginho as more of a dispensable commodity as they look to trim the squad this summer. (h/t Daily Mail)
But, Inter’s relentless pursuit of Kante, and the player himself willing to move, may force Chelsea to rethink their stance.

However, the club will demand a transfer fee of £46m. Inter, though, might find it difficult to meet the valuation. They will need to sell some players to be able to sign the midfielder. (h/t Daily Mail)
N’Golo Kante is an integral member of the Chelsea side. And manager Frank Lampard has insisted that the Frenchman will not be sold this summer.
