Ex-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, now the Inter Milan boss has his eyes on midfielder Kante, as well as left-back Emerson Palmieri and striker Olivier Giroud.
Frank Lampard does not want to sell Kante, but the club must raise funds after signing Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr already this summer.
Conte has asked Inter to sign Chelsea midfielder Kante on loan with option to buy for £44.5m
Though there has been initial conversation, but Chelsea will not sell the 29-year-old, Kante, for anything less than £80m
