As the January transfer window looms, Barcelona is reportedly setting its sights on a significant addition to their midfield: N’Golo Kante.
According to Sport, the French World Cup winner, who currently plies his trade at Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad, has emerged as the Catalan giants’ top target to bolster their squad.
Renowned for his tireless work rate and defensive prowess, Kante is seen as an ideal candidate to bring muscle and dynamism to Xavi’s midfield. The 2018 World Champion and former Chelsea star is rumored to be keen on a return to elite European football, with Barcelona presenting an enticing opportunity.
Barça fans are already buzzing at the prospect of Kante joining the Blaugrana ranks. His wealth of experience would not only solidify the team’s midfield but also serve as a guiding light for the younger players eager to develop under his mentorship.
With a market value of €7 million, per Transfermarkt, securing the services of the 33-year-old would be a calculated move to balance immediate impact and long-term development.
