It seems like Kante is likely to leave Chelsea at the end of the season. Because his contract is ending on June 30, 2023 and Chelsea don't seem to be willing to offer a new contract to him.
Maybe this is related to Kante's not being able to play for a long time due to an injury and starting to get old at the same time. Personally I think that Kante is still a solid midfielder. They have Conor Gallagher now as a regular in the central midfield. It looks like they are contented with his performance now. Kante has newly returned from his injury of course so we will see how Potter's choices will be. If he starts to use him in the starting eleven often and he performs strongly then Chelsea might make an offer to extend with him.
We are gradually seeing more of very good players aging and losing their touch, it will be no surprise to see Kante making a move away from Chelsea in the January window. He has become prone to injuries and has been substituted for many weeks even last season and this season making it difficult for him to cope in the league and playing for a top team and with his contract ending in 2023 and no further plans of the club extending his contract.
Since N'Golo Kante joined Chelsea in 2016, Kante's form has continued to improve and Kante has made a big contribution to Chelsea.
Even Kante helped Chelsea win several trophies, unfortunately in the last two seasons Kante was often injured. So because Kante is
injured too often, according to news Chelsea will not extend Kante's contract which will expire in 2023. Chelsea also saw the game of
Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Conor Gallagher starting to show impressive performances, especially since both of them are still young.
So Chelsea no longer need the services of Kante, then Chelsea will most likely release Kante for free next year.
After all, there are rumors that Chelsea are interested in signing Mattheu Nunes from Sporting, this is like a sign that Kante will not renew
his contract at Chelsea. But since N'Golo Kante is still happy to live in England, Kante is likely to move to Arsenal or Tottenham, who are
reportedly interested in Kante. Moreover, Kante can be obtained for free, so we'll see where Kante will move. What is certain is that Kante's
chances of staying at Chelsea are very small.
