As per a report by Nizaar Kinsella of the Evening Standard, the Blues are still keen to keep the two experienced midfielders at the club. They want to extend the contract of both stars, who are currently free to negotiate with any other team.
Kante and Jorginho are in the final six months of their contract at Chelsea and are yet to pen new deals. Talks are ongoing with the duo, but it could still take time before they put pen to paper.
Jorginho spoke about his Chelsea future on talkSPORT last month and admitted that he had no plans of leaving. He is keen to stay at the club and wants to sign a new deal. He said:
Jorginho’s agent also echoed his client’s sentiments earlier this season when he rebuffed claims of talks with Barcelona. The agent claimed that he had never met with Barcelona director Mateu Alemany amid rumors that the Catalan side had agreed a deal to bring the midfielder to Camp Nou on a free transfer.
He said:
Chelsea in talks to keep N’Golo Kante
N’Golo Kante was adamant to sign a new deal at the club on his terms. He wanted a long-term deal, while the Blues were offering just a two-year contract.
Things have changed in the past few weeks after he suffered another injury setback before the FIFA World Cup. He is yet to return to action and will only be back at the end of February or early March.
