If Juventus indeed take this deal forward, they will have to pay Chelsea as much as £70 Million.

Former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri was the first Chelsea manager in a long time who left the club on his own terms. He then returned to Italy and took up an assignment with Juventus. Reports are now suggesting that he is now looking to include one of the Chelsea stars in his Juventus squad and he is none other than N’Golo Kante.
According to a report carried by Daily Mail, Maurizio Sarri is very keen on bringing Chelsea star N’Golo Kante in his team. He has even reportedly talked to the team management to try and include the Chelsea star in the Juventus squad. He is looking to build a strong midfield trio of Kante, Miralem Pjanic, and Aaron Ramsey.

Notably, Sarri had faced a lot of criticism in his first season as manager of Chelsea as he had played the Frenchman in a different position than what he was used for. He had drafted in Jorginho at Chelsea and was forced to deploy him behind Kante and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Despite all of that, he was impressed with what Kante brought to the table and is desperate to bring him at Juventus to build a midfield line which according to him will be the best in the world.
If Juventus indeed take this deal forward, they will have to pay Chelsea as much as £70 Million. This is because Kante is one of the best man in his position and still has a few years remaining on his contract with Chelsea. The Chelsea may even demand a higher fee from Juventus if at all they decide to part ways with their star player.
