The good news for the Barça is that the decision of the player will depend on the attractive that it was or no the proposal. In Stamford Bridge are in the middle of a reconstruction and does not seem too likely that the offer can be of 3 seasons ensured and an index card that, at least, keep the value of what comes earning the Frenchman, something that could take advantage of in the Camp Nou.
A negotiation something complicated
Beside Jorginho, the one who is in the same situation that the French, Kanté is one of the favourites of the technical body to reinforce the midfield the next season. However, Busquets is right now in work to renew his agreement and a so high index card like the one of a champion of the world not to be immediate headline does not seem too likely right now for the Barça.
