N'Golo Kante and Jorginho will be out of a contract with Chelsea by the summer of 2023. As daunting as that sounds, it might not be such a bad thing.
There are so many ways that this scenario could play out. Chelsea could end up in a whirlwind of trouble, or they can exit this situation stronger than ever. The only bit of certainty that Chelsea fans can cling to is that the Blues will be hunting for a midfield option in the summer transfer window, regardless of whether Kante or Jorginho stays.
As we draw nearer to the transfer window, I find it rather tedious that little has been said around contract extensions for our resident midfielders. The arrival of Aurélien Tchouaméni or Declan Rice seems pretty imminent now. Let's take a look at how this could all pan out.
