Chelsea are reportedly considering whether or not to offload N'Golo Kante as they look to raise funds ahead of a busy summer transfer window.
The Blues already have the arrival of Ajax winger Hakim Ziyech to look forward to, and RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner is supposedly close to sealing a move to Stamford Bridge.
Frank Lampard is also said to be in the market for a new left-back, with Leicester City's Ben Chilwell touted as a potential signing, but the Foxes would likely drive a hard bargain for the 23-year-old.
As a result, AS report that Chelsea may be open to parting ways with Kante to ensure that they are financially capable of spending big this summer.
The Spanish outlet claim that Real Madrid would be the most likely destination for the Frenchman, but Los Blancos would be hesitant to meet Chelsea's current valuation of £71.8m.
The 29-year-old, who is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2023, has turned out 18 times in the Premier League during an injury-hit 2019-20 campaign.
