Chelsea’s latest Kanté contract offer

An agreement between N’Golo Kanté and Chelsea is getting closer following the Blues’ latest offer, according to Foot Mercato.

The west London club have offered a base salary almost equivalent to his current one plus bonuses related to appearances.

The deal is expected to run until 2026.

The 31-year-old has always been keen to renew with Chelsea and that now looks set to happen.
