Juventus plot move for Leicester City star

Published on: 26 March 2016

Reigning Italian champions Juventus are reportedly keen on signing Leicester City midfielder, N’Golo Kante.

The 24-year-old, who recently earned himself a debut for the French National Team against Netherlands, has been a crucial player for Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester side this season, making a total of 30 appearances for the Foxes, scoring once and assisting three.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus will attempt to buy the midfielder during the summer transfer window, as he continues to guide The Foxes towards an unprecedented Premier League title.

The East Midlands’ side currently lead the English League standings by a total of five points, with only seven domestic matches remaining.

Kante joined the Premier League leaders from French club Caen for an estimated transfer of €8 million in the summer of 2015, signing an initial four-year contract with the club.

This long-term could may prove to be an problem for the Bianconeri, who may have to pay a considerable amount should they persuade Leicester to sell one of their star assets.
