Man Utd submitted lucrative offer to sign £290,000 a week star – Report
Manchester United are keen to sign N'Golo Kante, whose contract at Chelsea expires in June this year
Last summer, the Reds managed to lure the (mirror) France international from Les Bleus but that didn't happen
Recently, reports indicate that Man Utd have submitted a lucrative bid to sign the Blues midfielder, who has now made a decision on his future
According to Spanish source Nacional, Kante is clearly close to Barcelona although the likes of Man Utd, PSG and Al-Nassr have made much more attractive offers to hire his services
However, the Catalan outlet claims that the 31-year-old has decided to stay at Stamford Bridge and will soon sign a contract. Kante is one of the most decorated players in the country He won the title with Leicester City in 2016 A year later, under Conte, the Frenchman won the Premier League with Chelsea and was named PFA Player of the Year
The veteran midfielder, who enjoys press and farewell play, is one of the most important members of the French team that lifted World Cup and Nations League titles in 2018 and 2021.
Furthermore, he was brilliant for Chelsea during their Champions League winning campaign two years ago Kante was named Man of the Match in the final against Manchester City
Unfortunately, this season, the £290,000-a-week star (The Mail) has been mostly confined to the treatment table, featuring in the opening two league games and even missing the World Cup in Qatar through injury .
This summer, Man Utd have attracted a world-class finals in Casemiro and the Brazilian international has played extremely well under Erik ten Hag
So in my opinion, Man Utd really don't need to sign Kante Instead, a creative central midfielder who can score/create consistently should be recruited from midfield.
