DBasia.news – Chelsea midfielder, N’Golo Kante, admitted that he had refused an offer to move to Paris Saint-Germain. Kante became the target of PSG because Thomas Tuchel was interested in him. Now, the two are truly together.
N’Golo Kante became known to many people after making fairy tales come true. Kante helped Leicester City win the Premier League.
Not surprisingly, Chelsea fell in love with the French player. The 32 million pounds offer given by the Blues was accepted.
Kante’s shine did not immediately go out. He won the Premier League title in his debut season at Chelsea. He was also selected as the PFA version of the best player. Kante shone even more after bringing the French national team to win the 2018 World Cup.
As a result, Thomas Tuchel, who was leading PSG, was interested. Tuchel really wants his team to be strengthened by Kante.
However, Kante has a different choice. The midfielder chose to be loyal to Chelsea.
“I know in the past there was contact with Paris Saint-Germain when Tuchel was manager. However, it was not something I wanted,” said Kante on Chelsea’s official website.
Uniquely, now Tuchel can really train Kante. It is hoped that Tuchel’s presence at Chelsea can bring back the best of Kante’s fading abilities.
“It did not happen because I am happy at Chelsea. I want to stay here. I have not spoken to the manager about that,” continued Kante.
Tuchel’s confession
Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel has been outspoken in admitting that he really dreams of N’Golo Kante being at PSG. He exposed this desire in an interview earlier this year.
“I’ve wanted N’Golo Kante for years. Now I have him here,” mentioned Tuchel.
N’Golo Kante has a great opportunity to play from the beginning when Chelsea visit Liverpool’s headquarters in the 2020-2021 Premier League match, at Anfield Stadium, Friday (5/3) am, WIB. Currently, the Blues are one point ahead of Liverpool who are in sixth place.
