Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante is reportedly being lined up for a move to Saudi Arabia after contract talks with the Blues broke down.
The World Cup-winning midfielder’s contract at Stamford Bridge will expire this summer, and Chelsea had opened discussions with him over an extension that will see him stay at least two extra years.
However, both sides have hit an impasse, and Kante is now being targeted by Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr in a deal that could see him become a team-mate of Cristiano Ronaldo.

This is according to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who claims that officials from the Middle East have travelled to England for talks with Kante.
According to Romano, Kante has an offer that could be worth as much as €100 million (£86m/$107m) when image rights and commercial deals are added.
But Al-Nassr, who currently have five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo on their books, aren’t the only Saudi Arabian team interested in signing Kante. Saudi Pro League title winners Al-Ittihad, who have just signed prolific Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema are also keen.
