Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante is prepared to force through a move to Real Madrid this summer.

Le Parisian says Kante has made it clear to Real - via intermediaries - that he would welcome an approach about a move to the European champions.

Real president Florentino Perez has the France international on his shopping list as he and new coach Julen Lopetegui consider overhauling their midfield.

Kante grew up a Real supporter and covered his childhood bedroom walls with posters of the stars from Los Merengues.

For their part, Chelsea will be desperate to keep hold of their star midfielder, particularly with a new manager to be installed.
