Antonio Conte is keen to be reunited with N'Golo Kante at Inter Milan if the Serie A giants can afford the Chelsea midfielder's wages, according to reports.
World Cup winner Kante is believed to earn around £150,000 a week at Stamford Bridge, which could prove a stumbling block for a potential move to Italy.
The energetic France midfielder is under contract until 2023 but is considering leaving Chelsea at the end of the season, Sport Mediaset has reported.
Conte won the Premier League title with Kante three seasons ago and would need to persuade the Inter board to commit to a hefty pay packet for a player who has only featured in 27 of Chelsea's 50 matches during the current campaign.
