Paris Saint-Germain are closely monitoring the contract status of Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante.

Kante only has one year left on his contract and it's unclear if the Blues will offer him an extension.

Manager Thomas Tuchel wants the Frenchman to stay, but admits his age, injury history and requested salary will be key factors.

According to The Times, PSG are monitoring the situation and it could lead to a transfer offer in this or the next window.

Alternatively, the Ligue 1 side could be waiting to sign him on a free next summer.

Why Chelsea should sell N'golo Kante

N'Golo Kante has been one of Chelsea's greatest ever signings, there's no doubt about that.

Signed for £32 million from title winners Leicester City back in 2016, Kante immediately hit the ground running at Chelsea, winning the Premier League for a second consecutive season, while also winning the PFA Player of the Year, in his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge.

Playing alongside Nemanja Matic under Antonio Conte, the Frenchman was imperious in central midfield, with his energy enabling the Blues to regain possession so frequently, which allowed the likes of Eden Hazard and Pedro the time on the ball needed to show their quality.

A consistent performer, Kante did suffer a slight drop off in performance under Frank Lampard's management, however, and his status as one of the Premier League's best midfielders came into question.

But, Thomas Tuchel's arrival at Chelsea saw Kante back to his best, winning Man of the Match awards in the Champions League semi-final and final. However, the Frenchman put in some lackluster performances in the 2021-22 Premier League season as Chelsea finished third.

Kante is now 31 and his body is showing signs of aging. His energetic style of play was always expected to be available, but Kante has now been caught up with injuries all the time and seems to have been sidelined for a month or so.

And his summer is Chelsea's last chance to secure his 2018 world champion transfer fee, with his contract expiring in less than a year.

It's unclear if PSG will be Kante's next port of call, but one thing's for sure: his time at Chelsea won't last long.
