As N'Golo Kante enters the final seven months of his current deal at Chelsea, the Frenchman seems to be getting closer to finding out where he will play next.
Hazard Apologises To Real Madrid Fans
The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner's contract expires at the end of the season and the Blues are not expected to extend his deal, putting multiple teams on high alert as far as his services are concerned.
According to La Repubblica, Serie A giants Inter Milan and Juventus are interested in the France international.
In the case of I Nerazzurri, Kante fits the profile of midfielder that would get the best out of Simone Inzaghi's system. The only issues with a move to the San Siro is the matter of his wages.
The 31-year-old is amongst the highest earners currently at Stamford Bridge and leaving west London on a free transfer means he will have a lot of leverage as far as negotiating a new deal. Inter are currently discussing new terms with star centre-back Milan Skriniar and adding a high earner such as Kante could upset the structure of the club's wage bill.

Juventus, on the other hand, would have no such problems, with Kante's compatriot Adrien Rabiot expected to leave the Allianz Stadium on a free once the 2022/23 campaign concludes.
Massimiliano Allegri sees the defensive-midfielder as the player that will provide the perfect balance in the middle of the park for the Bianconeri.
Despite being plagued by injuries in recent seasons, the two-time Premier League winner is still regarded as one of the best in his position.
