Leicester City’s fight to keep hold of crucial midfielder N’Golo Kante has just become more difficult after Juventus entered the race.
Kante has become one of the defining characters of the newly crowned Premier League champions after a string of excellent displays in midfield, unsurprisingly attracting interest from a number of Europe’s elite.
Juventus are determined to not miss out on a potential auction, and are preparing a bumper contract to offer the Frenchman according to The Sun.
The former Caen enforcer has a reported release clause of €25 million in his contract, and so far the indications have been that it will be triggered this summer.
A deal worth €63,500 each week is in the works at the Bianconeri, although it’s a figure that could quite easily be matched or bettered by the likes of Arsenal or Paris Saint-Germain.
Leicester made history this season by completing arguably the greatest sporting upset of all time, claiming the title with two games to spare.
