Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Youssouf Fofana’s “Little brother” interview!
If Chelsea conceded a painful defeat Tuesday evening on the lawn of Real Madrid in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League (0-2), the London club could nevertheless be reassured by the form of N’Golo Kanté, author of a first half hour of very high level before falling back a little without losing its great activity.
Kanté, finally on the return after long months of absence, therefore seems ready to become an important pawn of the Blues and, later, of the France team. Only, the Mirror releases important information concerning his future at Chelsea which could considerably darken, like several other players of the club.
Kanté forced to pack his bags?
Todd Boehly, who took control of Chelsea and now directs its sports project, has indeed agreed to heavy investments to strengthen the club. And that should force the club to do a lot of cleaning this summer to get back on track financially, according to information from the Mirror. Kanté, who is coming to the end of his contract at the end of the season, would be among the first concerned. Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mateo Kovacic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Hakim Ziyech are also all reportedly concerned with a potential departure in order to ease the club’s finances. What draw a hectic summer for the Blues and the middle of the France team.
To sum up
Despite a promising return to form with Chelsea, N’Golo Kanté could leave the club this summer due to financial constraints imposed by owner Todd Boehly. Other players like Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech would also be affected, drawing a turbulent summer for the Blues and the France team.
