The Chelsea midfielder has impressed on the Blues shirt since making the move to Stamford Bridge to join the West London outfit. He’s been a massive signing for Chelsea and this has endeared him to the couple of suitors who are waiting in the stands for his signature.
It has seen the player being compared to Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba. The reports making the rounds in Europe indicate that Kante is said to be a serious target for Catalans side FC Barcelona.

If this move pulls through a couple of things could flow suite. On this note, we take a look at the three implications/happenings that could be the case if the French defensive midfielder leaves Chelsea.
3. Possible Ndidi Acquisition
N’golo Kante is linked to Spanish giants FC Barcelona and Real Madrid as both sides keen to strengthen their sides ahead of next season. However, he’s Chelsea’s lone defensive midfielder with Jorginho more like a makeshift option in that position. This would cause Chelsea to look for a replacement.
This could not be far-fetched from Nigeria and Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi whose stocks and profile have risen in recent times.
He will be an ideal successor to N’golo Kante after replacing the former Leicester City star at the King Power Stadium.

2. Philippe Coutinho’s Arrival
The Barcelona star now on loan at Bayern Munich could himself move to Chelsea as he’s involved in a swap deal in line with Chelsea’s N’golo Kante.
This could see Coutinho reunite with his international teammate Willian while nursing the pressure to perform with the level of expectations that would be resting on Chelsea’s shoulders.
Coutinho’s arrival at Stamford Bridge would be a welcome deal for all Chelsea fans but they may have to part ways with their prized assets in N’golo Kante.
This may be the costly requirement Chelsea had to offer in exchange for a player of Philippe Coutinho’s quality as Barcelona eye the French man’s signature ahead of next season.
1. Barcelona’s Ultimate Gain
The Spanish giants would be on the positive end if they can get hold of Chelsea’s N’golo Kante in the transfer market.
He is going to aid the Catalans’ progress for much of his stay just like he did for Leicester City and the current side Chelsea.
It would be to Barcelona’s profit as the French man would establish the stability that Barcelona needs in midfield.
They have got an amazing attacking line-up with the Catalan side looking destined to lure Neymar back to the Nou Camp next term.
Signing Kante would shape Barcelona’s defensive unit on an organization level as the hardworking midfielder would aid clubs to defend much better while setting up attacking moves from the base of the Catalans midfield as a proof with his mobility.
