Leicester City boss, Claudio Ranieri has told France international, N’Golo Kante to come up with a decision on whether he is staying at the club or leaving, adding that the exit door is open if the midfielder is not satisfied at the club. He said,“If he’s unhappy, I prefer if he goes.”
Kante showed class as Leicester’s emerged as league winners last season but reports suggest that he could well be set for a summer exit.
The 25-year-old moved to the King Power Stadium from French club-Nice for a fee of £5.6 million last summer.
His performance at the heart of Leicester midfield has caught the eye of a number of Europe’s top clubs, with Chelsea leading the race for his signature.
Ranieri is hopeful of keeping Kante at the club, but insists he is not desperate about it, asking the midfielder to make up his mind quickly.
Renieri said, “I have heard there is so much speculation behind him, I don’t want to lose him but I can understand if he wants to go.”
“We offered a new contract to him, he went away because he wanted to finish Euro 2016.
“At this point, I hope the team brings the maximum [transfer fee for him]. I want him here. But I don’t know.
“I would like now to be sure who stays with me or not because now the friendlies start and I have to start to manage.
“I would like to understand if he stays with me or not. I speak often with him. If one is not happy with me I prefer that he goes.”
