PSG Targets N’Golo Kante

PARIS – Despite being the Ligue 1 winner, PSG needs more power. With a convincing 4-0 win against Dijon last night (19/5), Paris Saint Germain once again prolongs their Ligue 1 reign.

Nonetheless, the Parisians will never forget the heart-breaking fact that they could not lift the grand Champions trophy this year too, in spite of appearances of “better” players: Cavani, Neymar, even the golden boy M’bappe.

Thomas Tuchel – manager of PSG – saw the problem is within the midfield line. Therefore, he is more than ardent to say that PSG needs a competent midfielder, and he saw the quality within N’Golo Kante, French soccer player playing for Chelsea.

By stop pursuing Idrissa Gueye – Senegalese soccer player playing for Everton --, PSG puts N’Golo Kante in their VIP list for the summer transfer window.

The 28 year old French was played oddly out of his usual position by Maurizio Sarri. Currently, Kante has to fight for position to play against Arsenal in Europa League final in Azerbaijan. Moreover, it is evident that Kante is not satisfied with how Sarri treated the player by placing him as attacking midfielder (AMF), while his natural position is defensive midfielder (DMF).

Therefore, with PSG enticing him with voluptuous amount, it is a tough offer to refuse for Kante. Just tell him that they will put him in his original position, and he might tell them, “Count me in!”

However, Chelsea looks determined about not selling Kante, since they are in desperate need of the French to bolster their attacking power, since Chelsea made it to UCL, either by playoff (4th position in EPL) or group stage (by winning Europa League).

In the previous 2015-2016 season, he lifted Premier League trophy with Jamie Vardy and Leicester City; sadly, he walked out as Leicester City had to struggle alone in 2016-17 UCL. Appealed by the French performance, Chelsea bought Kante for £32 million from Leicester City in 2016.

Playing for Chelsea since 2016, Kante appeared 105 times and netted 6 goals. He also won accolades such as being named in PFA Team of the Year for 3 consecutive years (2015-17), PFA Player of the year (2016-17), and lifted World Cup trophy with France National Team in 2018.

If Chelsea agrees to PSG’s offer by the summer transfer window, it is certain that Chelsea will lose 2 pivotal players: Eden Hazard – to Real Madrid – & Kante – most likely to PSG --.
