N'Golo Kante has been a key figure for Chelsea since he signed from Leicester City in 2016.
But three years, a Premier League and a Europa League later, he's rumoured to be ready for a new challenge.
According to El Desmarque, Kante is wanted by Barcelona, but the La Liga giants are not the player's preference.
Samuel Umtiti, Clement Lenglet, Jean-Clair Todibo and Antoine Griezman are all present in Barça's squad.
However, the Catalan club are reportedly not Kante's first preference, far from it.
But his ultimate first-choice is understood to be Barcelona's arch-rivals Real Madrid.
However, Madrid president Florentino Perez has denied the request because they would have to pay around €100m for a position already occupied by Casemiro.
Perez regards Casemiro as the best holding midfielder in the world and is thought to be in no mind to threaten the Brazilian's position.
