CHELSEA are reportedly willing to sell star man N’Golo Kante for the right price this summer, according to reports.
Lyon chief Juninho Pernambucano immediately made his interest known as he looks to lure the midfielder back to France.
According to 90min, Chelsea are prepared to offload the 29-year-old this summer if they receive the right offer.
It is reported that Real Madrid are considering an ambitious bid for the two-time Premier League winner.
Paris Saint-Germain have also been heavily linked to Kante ahead of the summer transfer window.
But Juninho attempted to put Lyon at the front of the queue after he spotted the story doing the rounds on social media.
In response to the report, the legendary Brazilian free-kick specialist responded with a finger raised emoji and a praying emoji.
One excited Lyon fan tweeted: “Come on Juninho you can do it.”
But another slightly more optimistic supporter added: “Please don’t get my hopes up like this.”

The source states that Chelsea are “more than happy” to keep hold of the midfielder unless the price is right.
He has been with the club since he joined from Leicester City in 2016 and is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2023.
Kante has scored three goals, but is yet to make an assist in 18 Premier League appearances this term.
