N'Golo Kante is reportedly not accepting Chelsea's new contract offer to keep the French midfielder at Stamford Bridge beyond the end of his current deal.
According to The Athletic, Chelsea's new owners tabled a verbal offer to renew Kante's deal for two years, with the option of adding a third. However, the 31-year-old desires a longer deal.
Kante, like his midfield peer Jorginho, is into the final year of his contract that expires next summer. As we saw with Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen last season, the uncertainty over both dominated a large portion of the season, eventually seeing the club forced to act in the market to replace them.
