Paris Saint-Germain will reportedly reignite their interest in N'Golo Kante after learning that the Chelsea midfielder's relationship with manager Maurizio Sarri has soured.
The Ligue 1 champions turned to Leandro Paredes from Zenit St Petersburg last month after previously missing out on Kante.
Le 10 Sport claims that the 27-year-old is still the man PSG want, though, and they intend to test Chelsea's resolve in the summer with a fresh approach.
Kante is said to be unhappy with being asked to play out of position, having been shifted to a right-of-centre midfield position under Sarri to accommodate the arrival of deep-lying playmaker Jorginho.
However, the French World Cup winner only signed a new five-year deal in November and he is now tied down until 2023, meaning that PSG will likely have to spend big to tempt the Blues into parting company.
Everton ace Idrissa Gueye is believed to be the French giants' back-up choice if they once again miss out on Kante.
