Juventus are reportedly not interested in signing Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante, despite recent suggestions.

Earlier this month, it was alleged that Juve boss Maurizio Sarri had urged his club to move for the France international in a £70m deal.

However, according to Calciomercato, while the Italian champions admire the 2018 World Cup winner, the club are not in a position to meet Chelsea's asking price.

The same report claims that Juve do not believe that the Premier League giants will agree to sell a player who still has four years left to run on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

Kante, who has struggled with injury in the early stages of the 2019-20 campaign, helped Leicester City win the 2015-16 Premier League title before joining the Blues in a £30m deal.

Real Madrid have also been heavily linked with a move for the energetic midfielder amid the uncertainty surrounding the futures of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
