N'Golo Kante dragged into Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga amid Chelsea contract decision

Chelsea look set to lose N'Golo Kante at the end of the season as he enters the final six months of his contract at Stamford Bridge. The 31-year-old is yet to feature under Graham Potter after suffering a hamstring injury against Tottenham back in August.

The French midfielder has won the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup since arriving at Chelsea. Kante was signed back in 2016 after completing a £30million switch from reigning Premier League champions at the time, Leicester City.

Kante could join Cristiano Ronaldo in becoming a free agent after the five-time Ballon d'Or winner mutually agreed to terminate his contract with Manchester United prior to the World Cup. The Blues continue to be linked with a move for Ronaldo after Todd Boehly proposed the idea of signing the 37-year-old to Thomas Tuchel earlier this year.
