Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Chelsea willing to sanction Kante departure in 2022

Chelsea are willing to sanction N'Golo Kante's departure in 2022 - according to <a href="https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/chelsea-plantea-vender-ngolo-kante-proximo-verano-20210925.html" target="_blank">Fichajes</a>. The French midfielder is currently tied to the Blues until 2023, but there is little sign that he will sign an extension on that deal. Chelsea will, therefore, consider selling Kante next year to avoid losing him on a free transfer when his current contract expires.
