N'Golo Kante reportedly wants to leave Chelsea at the end of the season, with Barcelona among others wanting to sign him, according to El Desmarque.
However, the midfielder would actually prefer to join their arch rivals Real Madrid, which probably won't impress Barca bosses.
He would reportedly also like to join either Juventus or Bayern Munich, as the Frenchman looks for a new challenge outside of the Premier League.Both Barcelona and Real Madrid already have a wealth of midfield talent at their disposal.
Real Madrid have Casemiro in a similar position to the one Kante would play, but the Chelsea man is said to have a good relationship with fellow countryman and Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.
Zidane has reportedly asked the club if they can sign Kante, but Real president Florentino Perez has denied him because they would have to pay somewhere in the area of €100million (£83.5m)
Equally, he would be joining a strong French contingent if he were to join Barcelona, who have players such as Antoine Griezmann, Jean-Clair Todibo, Samuel Umtiti, and Clement Lenglet.
Ousmane Dembele is said to be one of the first to learn of Kante's desire to leave, and the Barcelona player is keen for the club to bring him to the Nou Camp.
Kante joined Chelsea in 2016 having just won the Premier League with Leicester City. He went on to win another league title in 2017, won the FA Cup in 2018, and then the Europa League in 2019.
Now he would apparently like to go in search of silverware on the continent.

The player himself earlier in the season stated that he wants to stay at Chelsea, this is the papers doing what they usually do when we start to go on a bad run of form. Its them actually trying to force these moves more than anyone. Dont buy into it until the player himself states he has other interests in an interview live....

It's not to do with being English, his selections are whoever impresses him in training, Mount will definitely be bench next game so hopefully by then you let go of your dumb anti English agenda cos its straight racist to make such assumptions. Also allow me to break down the starting XI for the game; Kepa (Spanish), Azpi (Spanish), Zouma (French), Rudiger (German), Emerson (Italian), Jorginho (italian), Kante (French), Pulisic (American), Willian (Brazillian), Mount (English), Tammy (English). So 2 English players is too much in a team based in England? your logic is baffling....

N'Golo Kante reminds us of Lassana Diarra, whom fared best level with Chelsea but moved to Madrid for nothing
