Chelsea risk losing one of the world’s best defensive midfielders for nothing in the summer after talks with N’Golo Kante over a contract extension stalled.

Manager Graham Potter is not getting involved in the negotiations, though he said on Tuesday that any team would ‘suffer’ if they lost Kante, whose deal expires at the end of this season.

It means Kante will be free to talk to other clubs from January, including Paris Saint-Germain, who hold a long-standing interest in the 31-year-old Frenchman.

It is understood Kante is seeking a longer contract similar to the four years handed to Kalidou Koulibaly, also 31, in the summer.

Yet Chelsea, who are taking his injury record into account, are believed to have offered a two-year deal with the option of a third.

It is a headache for the Todd Boehly regime, who are mindful of how many matches he has missed. Kante has started only 20, 24 and 21 games in each of the last three Premier League seasons, largely due to muscular problems.

Yet when fit, few footballers are as devastatingly effective as Kante, who finished fifth in the 2021 Ballon d’Or in the midst of those injury-restricted campaigns.
