Free in June and in contact with FC Barcelona, Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kant put pressure on him and would demand to sign a pre-agreement in January.
Kant has been playing Chelsea since 2016.
What future for N’Golo Kant? At 31, the midfielder is coming to the end of his Chelsea contract next June and should not be back.
Despite recent months disturbed by physical glitches (only 2 games played this season in all competitions), the French international retains a good rating on the transfer market and serves as a bargain given his contractual situation.
Advanced negotiations
Arsenal, Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus Turin: all are on the prowl, but the hottest track leads to FC Barcelona. Indeed, the Blaugrana have to deal with tight finances and they are therefore looking for recruits with lower cost experience, which perfectly matches the profile of the 2018 world champion.
Recently, the Catalan press even presented the former Caennais as a priority for Bara in this sector of play in front of elements like Youri Tielemans (Leicester), his team-mate Jorginho (Chelsea) and Ilkay Gndogan (Manchester City), all in the same contractual situation, plus Ruben Neves (Wolverhampton) and Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad), more expensive. This Tuesday, the daily Sport goes further and reports advanced negotiations between the two parties. The media also specifies that Kant would have pressured the Catalan club!
The replacement for Busquets?
Obviously eager to be fixed quickly on his future, the native of Paris let it be known that he would have several offers in his possession and he would have asked Bara to sign a pre-agreement in January, under penalty of joining another destination. In view of his fragile physique, it is quite logical that Kant wishes to secure his future as soon as possible in order to secure his back.
It remains to be seen if the Habs are really ready to pass up the Bara opportunity in the event of an unfavorable response to his ultimatum or if he simply tries a bluff. Important parameter to take into account in this file: the departure of Sergio Busquets, who is looming more and more at the end of his contract in June, does the business of the Blue and could push the Blaugrana to move up a gear…
