Chelsea in mega £290k-a-week contract offer to Kante as PSG lurk

N'Golo Kante has been offered a new five-year deal that would make him the highest-paid player in Chelsea's history up to now, amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.

Goal understands the World Cup-winning midfielder has been offered more than Eden Hazard's current £200,000-a-week contract, as they aim to convince one of their star players to shun interest from abroad.

Kante still has three years remaining on his current deal but the new contract would see him more than double his salary - a figure that currently stands at £120,000-a-week.

The 27-year-old remains PSG's dream summer signing , with the player's stock having only increased following his role in France's World Cup success at Russia 2018.
