According to reports, Juventus and Inter Milan are interested in CHELSEA star N’Golo Kante as they attempt to take advantage of his impending contract expiration.
Due to injuries, the midfielder has missed the majority of the current season and had to forgo the World Cup.
He is still a highly regarded defensive midfielder, and as late as August, he was giving Chelsea strong performances.

The Blues have been frantically attempting to sign the 31-year-old to a more lengthy contract.
However, a disagreement about the length of the extension has hampered negotiations.
Now that his contract is up at the end of the year, the team runs the risk of losing him for nothing.
And several elite teams in Europe would still pay attention to Kante if he were totally fit.
According to La Repubblica, Juventus and Inter Milan are among the front-runners to sign him.
According to the article, Kante “does not have a strong relationship with new manager [Graham] Potter” and the player might not sign his contract after all.
There is also a potential that Kante will go in January, with La Repubblica suggesting that Chelsea will only sell for £18 million.
One of the team’s stars entering this season, Kante’s injury-forced absence from Chelsea hasn’t improved the team’s shaky start.
His 2016 transfer from Leicester has brought him to Stamford Bridge for his eighth season.
Since his arrival, he has helped many Chelsea sides win the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, and FA Cup.
The primary issue with his contract seems to be that the Blues only want to extend it for a set number of years, while Kante wants more.
In recent weeks, the Frenchman has also been linked to PSG and Arsenal, two rivals from London.
