FC Barcelona are more interested in signing N’Golo Kante over Willian.

According to Spanish sport expert, Graham Hunter, Spanish giants Barcelona are more interested in signing N’Golo Kante and not Willian. He also thinks that a deal will be a swap-over with Andre Gomes moving to Stamford Bridge.

Initially there were 2 bid made for the Brazilian winger but both the bid were turned down by Chelsea.

According to Hunter, Kante’s recent form in the World cup which helped the French side emerge as winners has made his demand more in the ongoing transfer market.

In his talks with Sky Sports, the sport expert said, “Barca are far more interested in getting Kante than Willian,”

“That is fully understandable, they have been looking for a player like him for a long time. Andres Iniesta has moved on and Sergio Busquets, without Iniesta next to him, while his brilliance remains, his pace, ability to get around the pitch tactically is very different to Kante, who is an extremely good footballer”

“I find it hard to understand how a club like Chelsea, who are shrewd with the prices they command for their players and are starting a new era, could lose either of these exceptional assets, as well as Eden Hazard, especially at a time when a new coach is coming in and will look to those players as the lynchpins of the brand of football he wants to play” he added.

“Barca are fishing in a pond where it will be really tough to land the big fishes.”

However he declined about Barca having financial crisis.

He said, “I know Barcelona’s ability to spend like Real Madrid will spend is non-existent. They have renewed several big players for contracts that you would not believe and have a number of players they have to clear out. They have got rid of Paulinho on a profit, they probably need to sell Yerry Mina, possibly Lucas Digne, they need to sell Andre Gomes and probably want to sell Rafinha, although I would keep him”

“I don’t think they have the money to do the type of business that they want to do and meet Chelsea’s price.”
