There were reports in England and Italy last week that Kante was on the market, having struggled to replicate his previous form this season.

Maurizio Sarri’s Juve were mentioned as favourites for his signature, followed by Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

Now L’Equipe warns that the cost of the operation is in the region of €70m.

The Bianconeri would try to cut that down by including a swap deal, perhaps with Miralem Pjanic, Daniele Rugani or Alex Sandro.

Kante just turned 29 and joined Chelsea from Leicester City for €36m in the summer of 2016.
