The FC Barcelona seems to be interested in reinforcing his medullary zone with an unexpected player in this market veraniego 2024/25. As it commented in 'The Nacional.cat', the Barcelona cast would be considering the option to incorporate to the mediocentro French of 33 years, N'Golo Kanté.
According to the source mentioned, the exjugador of the Leicester City, that had a stood out exert in the Eurocopa with the French selection, could return to the European football after his season 2023/24 with the To the-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, group with which the Parisian pivote at present has an agreement in force until 2026. In front of this situation, no descartaría the possibility to join to the picture of the City Condal.
It is really the traspaso of N'Golo Kanté an operation 'low cost' for the FC Barcelona?
In this point, when seeming, the '13' of 'Them Bleus' would arrive with an agreement of a year, more another optional. However, no everything is colour of rose for the FC Barcelona, since, in spite of having apparently the disposal of N'Golo Kanté to concretise this operation, still remains for seeing how much would ask the combined Arab by the mediocentro French. In the English newspaper 'The Guardian', suggested that the mount could situate between 20 and 23 M€, a mount quite distant of his value of market according to 'Transfermarkt', that is of nine 'kilos'.
Besides, another crucial appearance to consider are the heights emolumentos of the exjugador of Chelsea, that situate it between the best paid of the Saudi Pro League, with a gross wage of some 25 million euros by season, according to data of 'Capology'. This could represent a financial challenge for the Barça, especially if it compares with other options that the club has showed to have in his diary like Joshua Kimmich (19.5 M€) or Mikel Merino (3.2 M€), both considerably younger that the mediocentro Frenchman.
Basing us in this, the reality is that, although the profile of the N'Golo Kanté can be very attractive because of being a player contrasted and with a big physical capacity and defensive, would not approach at all to be considered an operation 'low cost'. It would be much more complex still if it considers that this operation would not have character prioritario, unlike the one of Nico Williams and even the one of Dani Elm. In this sense, under the montos mentioned previously, would be extremely complicated for the FC Barcelona have the 'muscle' financial necessary to tackle an operation of such magnitude.
