N'Golo Kante is believed to have snubbed the French giants for a move to Chelsea when he left Leicester City in 2016, while Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann once hinted that he would only join the French top flight in the latter stages of his career as it is not as strong as LaLiga and the Premier League.
