Real Madrid are set to revive their interest in N’Golo Kante this summer and could make an offer of £72million for the Chelsea midfielder.
The La Liga side are eager to bolster their midfield options and have a longstanding interest in Kante dating back to when he was at Leicester.
That sale could prove extremely bad news for West Ham with Frank Lampard a big admirer of Declan Rice as a replacement.
Although West Ham has repeatedly said their star asset is not for sale and would be the very last player they would sell, money talks!
A bid of over £70m for Rice from the proceeds Kante’s sale could be an offer too good for the Hammers to turn down.
Club insiders expect a formal move from Chelsea on Declan Rice if N’Golo Kante is sold.
