Manchester United are the latest side to show interest in N’Golo Kante, with Chelsea considering letting the midfielder leave this summer.

Manchester United have made an inquiry to sign Chelsea star N’Golo Kante, according to reports.

The Frenchman has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in recent weeks. The Blues are prepared to let the France star leave the club in this transfer window.

Of recent, Inter Milan have been linked with Kante but sporting director Piero Ausilio ruled out a move on Saturday.

Kante has started Chelsea’s first three Premier League games of the season.

But the Mirror says the Blues are prepared to part ways with the two-time Premier League winner.

And United have approached Chelsea and the midfielder’s advisors regarding a move to Old Trafford.

The Mirror claims Kante would have to take a big cut on his current £300,000-a-week wages to join United.

However, the midfielder is reluctant to leave Chelsea for less money.

Kante has made 173 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Leicester in 2016.

He helped the Blues win the Premier League title in his first campaign, a year after lifting the trophy with the Foxes.

Chelsea have spent around £220million on new signings this summer and are looking to raise funds before the end of the window on October 5.
