Usually when a player with a release clause is coveted by an interested club they make an offer a little less than the release clause amount and hope that the selling club will bite the bait. However, we could see a reverse situation with Chelsea in the summer.
In a season where Leicester City won the Premier League one of the most prominent players in their team has been N’Golo Kante and Chelsea are interested in signing the Frenchman in the summer. According to several report the player has a release clause of £20 million, but Chelsea faces competition Arsenal and this could force Chelsea to pay more than the release clause of Kante.
While Chelsea can be confident of outbidding the Gunners for Kante, the lack of Champions League places the Blues’ position in a delicate situation. The club will hope that the presence of Antonio Conte gives them a certain edge in the transfer market.
