The 29-year-old former PFA Player of the Year has reportedly been made available this summer as Chelsea want to raise funds for a bid for Rice.
Speaking to the Transfer Window Podcast, transfer expert Ian McGarry revealed that Kante’s sale is being discussed at Stamford Bridge.
“The spending doesn’t look to be over just yet,” he said. “N’Golo Kante, the French World Cup winner and someone who has been instrumental in Chelsea’s defensive and central midfield area, is absolutely on the market.
“We understand that there is a loan offer for him to go to Inter Milan. Chelsea would prefer to sell.
“The 29-year-old earns about £180,000 per-week, and the reason Chelsea would prefer to sell is partly because of FFP and partly to balance the books generally in a window where they’ve already committed £222million.”
