N'Golo Kante Transfer Odds

N’Golo Kante is currently facing uncertain times at Chelsea as the club is toying with the idea of letting him go, though the Frenchman would like to stay in west London at the club where he won the Premier League in 2017 and the FA Cup a year later. Many clubs who heard the rumours pounced on the player immediately, trying to sign him. One of them being Ole Gunnar Solksjaer’s Manchester United.

This isn’t the first time United was linked to the French international. Back in 2016, then Red Devils’ boss José Mourinho was keen on signing the midfielder, but Chelsea beat him to it and left him to snatch up Paul Pogba. It seems now that Frank Lampard wouldn’t mind seeing Kante leaving Chelsea, and it so happens that United is on the lookout for a holding midfielder.

Old Trafford’s midfielders aren’t that bad and are still on the rise since starting to improve a year ago. With Nemanja Matic, Fred and Scott McTominay, Solksjaer has a strong midfield but the trio still needs improvement and Kante would be an upgrade being one of the best midfielders on the planet. Kante could also be a key solution for United to keep Paul Pogba on for at least another 12 months. Man United odds to sign Kante are priced 4/6 and United remain the favourites to sign Kante.

Kante has also been linked with Barcelona, who are reportedly hoping to push for a swap deal. Philippe Coutinho, who’s been on the Blues top target list, for N’Golo Kante. Barcelona is closely followed by Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, who were all linked with Kante this summer.

However, rumours surfaced stating the Chelsea midfielder would consider a move to Camp Nou if Chelsea were to sell, which now seems to be the case. Barcelona is looking to strengthen their already talented midfield with speed and power, insert Kante who is counted amongst one of the best midfielders in the world.

Currently, the real strength in Barca’s midfield comes from Arturo Vidal and Ivan Rakitic, both set to be sold this summer. Defensive midfielder Sergio Busquets will soon be turning 32 and Barcelona executives are therefore also looking to the future. The club is also looking to offload Coutinho who cost them £145m in January 2018 but failed to perform for Barcelona.

Odds for Kante to Barcelona are currently priced at 5/1.

Real Madrid are reportedly back in the race to snatch up N’Golo Kante this summer from Chelsea. The club has been interested in the player ever since he joined Leicester and Real boss Zinedine Zidane has kept an eye on the player for quite some time now.

Madrid could reportedly make an offer of £71m for the French international as he’s looking to boost up their midfield options. A move to La Liga could be in the works as Chelsea may have to sell some players to fund their summer transfers as Lampard is reportedly looking to fund a summer move for Kai Havertz.

It also must be noted that Chelsea has enough options in their midfield with Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic, Billy Gilmour, Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, leaving no room for Kante.

Los Blancos aren’t looking to spend too much this summer with their current financial issues but are still keen to spend some cash on Kante.

Madrid odds to sign Kante are priced at 12/1 favourites.
