The Catalan newspaper “Sport” revealed that FC Barcelona is close to settling a strong deal from the Premier League championship in the winter transfer period, which will start in January 2023
According to the report, FC Barcelona wants to sign Chelsea and France midfielder N’Golo Kante, whose contract at Stamford Bridge expires on June 30
Kante gives priority to moving to Barcelona, which reinforces Barcelona’s plan to include him and support the midfield of the first football team under the leadership of coach Xavi Hernandez
There have been negotiations between Barcelona and Kante in the past weeks, and an agreement has been reached, but what stands as an obstacle is the Frenchman’s hamstring injury and his absence from the 2022 World Cup
Kante is a priority within Barcelona at the present time, unlike last summer, especially with the imminent departure of Sergio Busquets and his move to the American League.Kanty
The Frenchman is distinguished by his experience and physical strength despite his age, as he is 31 years old at the present time, but if he fully recovers, the deal could be settled in January and not wait until the end of the season
Xavi prefers Kante’s choice in the midfield due to his strong physique and mastery of all the qualities of a midfielder in front of the defense line, unlike Ilkay Gundogan, who may extend his contract with Manchester City
