Hit in the hamstrings, N’Golo Kanté missed the 2022 World Cup. A hard blow for the Chelsea midfielder who should not return to the field until mid-February. In the meantime, the 31-year-old may take advantage of this twist of fate to quietly settle his future.
As a reminder, Kanté is out of contract in six months and despite the Blues’ desire to keep him, the trend seems to be towards a departure. In recent days, the Spanish media even argued that FC Barcelona would be trying to beat everyone at the post. Limited in its expenses, the Catalan club does not want to miss the opportunity to enlist such a player free of any contract.
Kanté wants to sign a pre-agreement
Today, Sport teaches us that the Culers do not want to rush. Negotiations are still ongoing, but it is mainly Kanté who is putting the pressure on. Concretely, the Frenchman has other offers, but he does not want to let things drag on. He would also like to sign a pre-agreement in January.
For its part, Barça must deal with a very limited financial room for maneuver and it has not yet decided 100% on the profile of the environment to be recruited. In addition, we must not forget that the repeated physical glitches of the 2018 world champion remain an important component for Culers wishing not to splurge with a fragile player.
