Chelsea have rejected a swap offer for N'Golo Kante from Inter Milan.

Antonio Conte is trying every which way to sign the Frenchman, his star midfielder from his time at Stamford Bridge.

But the coronavirus pandemic has quashed any chance of Inter splurging ridiculous amounts of money this summer.

And so Conte will have to sacrifice other players, either by selling or swapping, to make way for his desired targets.

According to the Daily Mail, Inter have offered Christian Eriksen and Marcelo Brozovic in exchange for Kante.

The deal has been flatly rejected by the Blues, who prefer to keep the World Cup winner and would only be persuaded otherwise by a large cash bid.
