The Barcelona of Spain has very advanced the signing of N’Golo Kanté for the next season at zero cost. The French midfielder generates consensus in the sports area and the coaching staff as he is a good footballer and a profile that the team needs.
The agreement is well on track, but at Barça there is a lot of uncertainty with the injury that has kept the French international away from football since the beginning of the season. He is expected to return in February and his condition will be checked before closing the operation.
Kanté missed the World Cup with a hamstring injury. He decided to undergo surgery after going through an ordeal in recent months and at 31 years old his physical condition is worrying, although the player and his entourage are optimistic as his recovery is on the right track.
Chelsea, despite everything, It seems that he will let him go free at the end of the season and at Barça they would already be close to reaching an agreement after an exhaustive medical examination so as not to get scared.
The reality is that Kanté’s physical condition is unknown and the latest statements by former player Franck Leboeuf contribute to generating more alarmism around his figure.
“I haven’t spoken to Kanté lately about his fitness and how he’s feeling, but he could be reaching the end of his career. We are talking about a human being and there are times when the body says enough and you have to stop. If he is not well, he must assume it and if he can continue helping Chelsea, all the better. You have to be prepared for everything,” the footballer told ‘The Sun’.
The truth is that in Barcelona they hoped to advance already absolutely in his hiring during the month of January, the date on which the footballer could already sign a pre-contract with any club.
The Spanish club has made good progress with its environment through the football director, Mateu Alemany, and they have first-hand information about his recovery, but it is clear that the Blaugrana club will take preventive measures in case his illness does not recover.
