The Turin-based newspaper claims in Thursday’s front page splash that the France international is the main target.

He’d be filling in for injured Claudio Marchisio, who is out until November following knee ligament surgery, then able to bolster the midfield going forward.

The player is believed to have a clause in his contract allowing him to leave Leicester for €25m.

However, Sky Sport Italia warn that Real Madrid are also interested.

Only recently turning 25, Kanté went from relative obscurity to Premier League winner and playing for France at Euro 2016.
