Barcelona’s search for a new midfielder to replace Sergio Busquets continues with Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante reportedly the new favorite.

Kante is apparently the preferred choice among the sports management and coaching staff, according to Relevo.

The 31-year-old Frenchman is one of several midfielders to have been linked with a Camp Nou move.

Ruben Neves has previously been a favorite, according to the rumor mill, as has Martin Zubimendi. Enzo Fernandez has also been mentioned in recent weeks.
