The Premier League giants Chelsea have agreed to sell their star player N'Golo Kante to French club Paris Saint-Germain, with the transfer fee being set at €35 million.

The agreement was reached between the two clubs after months of negotiations, and it is believed that the deal will be completed within the next few days.

Kante has been a key player for Chelsea since joining from Leicester City in 2016, and he has helped the team win several major titles, including three Premier League championships and one Champions League trophy.

His departure from Stamford Bridge is expected to be a big blow to the team, but it also presents an opportunity for them to bring in a new talent to replace him.

Paris Saint-Germain has long been interested in Kante, and they were reportedly willing to pay up to €40 million for his services. However, the £35 million fee offered by Chelsea proved too tempting for PSG to turn down.

Kante's departure is not the only news to come out of the Premier League this week. Manchester United have also confirmed the signing of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for a fee of around £78 million.

Both deals are seen as significant transfers, and they highlight the strength of the league in attracting top talent from all over Europe.
