Ngolo Kante Real Worth?

Ngolo Kante is a gem of a midfielder. He re-revolutionized the Claude Makelele role. He plays for two people in midfield, whether it’s for his club, Chelsea or the French National team. When Chelsea purchased the midfielder for 30 million in 2016, he had just won the League with Leicester. It had to be the coup of the decade as he was worth much more than that. Leicester could have held out for more the, and in this market, Ngolo Kante is irreplaceable regarding players that can do the same job in the same position. So how much is the Mali-French international worth in this market? Let’s take a look.

It’s hard to put a price on one of the best midfielders in the world, let alone when a club isn’t willing to sell him, the player is happy at the club and still has years to run on his contract. Chelsea will be looking to tie him down to a new deal as soon as possible, basically an extension on his current deal tying him to the club for longer with a better wage deal as well.

But as things stand, should Ngolo Kante push for a move (which is highly unlikely) even though Mbappe tried tapping him up during the World Cup, Chelsea could command anything north of 250 million, making him the most expensive transfer ever. The same applies if he does sign a new contract and then the club would be in a better bargaining position.

Chelsea will be building a team around Kante as he will play with the club in that position into his early 30’s. He won the World Cup with France in Russia in 2018 and was an integral cog in midfield that helped his team lift the trophy. As a person, he’s the most down to earth and humble footballer you’d meet in the Premier League. He drives a pretty modest car, shows up for training and has a smile that will capture your eye.

Hint: He's the favorite to win Chelsea's player of the year along with Eden Hazard.
