Football agent, Paul Stefani has revealed that Chelsea midfielder, N’golo Kante, is in Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho’s top list of midfielders to sign this summer. According to Stefani, Mourinho is desperate to sign the Chelsea star. Red Devils boss, Mourinho wants two more signings before tomorrow’s 5pm transfer deadline.
Stefani, who is the agent to Belgian star, Axel Witsel’s, stated that Mourinho wants Kante before the transfer window ends.
“There were other candidates. Manchester United wanted him [Witsel], Napoli too,” Stefani told Het Laatste Nieuws.
“But I have told Axel: ‘At Dortmund you are the number one, at Manchester you are one of many and at Napoli too.’
“I know from a very good source that Mourinho said he wanted Witsel, but not in the first place. N’Golo Kante topped his list.
“Eventually Axel said: ‘Do me a favour and finish it as quickly as possible, because I really want to go to Dortmund’.”
The Portuguese manager tried to sign Kante during his time at Leicester just before Chelsea completed a deal for the France international.
“It was amazing to have Mourinho call me, even though I’d been warned before how he would appeal to me,” said Kante.
“I listened to his arguments about why I should move to United but at that time I was hesitant between staying at Leicester or leaving for Chelsea.”
