Football Espana, quoted AS, who says that Real Madrid has stepped up their pursuit of Kante and also wants his French teammate Paul Pogba.
“Zinedine Zidane has reportedly asked Real Madrid to sign Leicester City’s France international midfielder N’Golo Kante.
“AS has already dubbed Kante ‘the new Makelele’ and say Zizou wants the tough-tackling midfielder as he doesn’t feel Casemiro is enough to cover the defensive midfield position in the squad on his own, in case of injury or suspension.

“Paul Pogba is still wanted as the star summer signing but Kante has been requested to bolster the squad in a key position, one that Zidane is conscious of after playing for Madrid first with Claude Makelele, and then without him.
“None of Zidane’s other midfield options – Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, James Rodriguez, Isco and Mateo Kovacic – play the holding role naturally, while Lucas Silva is to be sold.
Meanwhile according to Sportwintness, who translated report of El Confidencial, that Alvaro Morata is likely to be sold, alongside with James Rodriguez.
“El Confidencial say Chelsea, Manchester City and PSG are all interested in doing a deal for the player, with the French club having already contacted James’ agent Jorge Mendes.”
“Next up for the exit door is Alvaro Morata, who hasn’t even arrived yet. Real Madrid have officially exercised their right to buy the Spaniard back from Juventus, but he’s still on holiday after his country’s Euro 2016 exit.”
