Barcelona are pleased with the progress of Bosman talks with Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante.

The France international is off contract at Chelsea in June and talks over a new deal have been suspended by the club as he recovers from hamstring surgery.

In the meantime, Sport says Barca are in talks with Kante about a 2023 move to Spain.

The Catalans, due to financial problems, have been focused on the Bosman market over the past 18 months and are keen to close a deal for the Frenchman.

PSG are also interested, though it's suggested talks with Barca are now at an advanced stage.
