Real Madrid interested in N’Golo Kante

Real Madrid are keen on a move to sign Juventus target N’Golo Kante from Chelsea, according to Sport as cited by The Sun.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to the Serie A champions Juventus.

Juve head-coach Sarri reportedly believes he can land the Frenchman for just £70m.

Kante won back-to-back Premier League titles with Leicester City and Chelsea FC before winning the World Cup last year.

He is now the star player at the Blues following Eden Hazard’s move to Santiago Bernabéu this summer and it is said that Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is a big admirer of his compatriot.

There have been doubts about the form of Casemiro at the Spanish capital and it is suggested that Kante would be the ideal upgrade on the 27-year-old Brazilian holding midfielder.
