Ngolo Kante Tops List of Players Set to Leave Stamford Bridge Amid Chelsea Sale Controversy

• Chelsea are apparently concerned that N'Golo Kante and Jorginho, both midfielders, will be the next to quit the club in a mass exodus
• The Stamford Bridge club has been put in a cloud of uncertainties after the UK Government sanctions on owner Roman Abramovich
• Todd Boehly is getting closer to a £4.25 billion takeover of Chelsea after the Russian Billionaire put the club up for sale

Following the imminent departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, who are set to join Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, more Chelsea players are set to do the same.

The Blues have been clouded by uncertainty following the UK Government sanctions on Roman Abramovich over his links to the Russian Government.

According to a report via the Daily Star, Chelsea are apparently concerned that two of its most important players, Ngolo Kante and Jorginho, may leave the London club due to the Roman Abramovich controversy.

The free move of Rudiger to Real Madrid is said to have left senior players "gutted" as some players do not believe Abramovich's sanctions stopped a new contract with the German defender from being reached.

The club is being bought by a consortium led by American Todd Boehly for more than £4.25 billion, but it may not be enough to avoid a crisis at the west London club.

Meanwhile, the race to buy Chelsea could be coming to an end as Todd Boehly’s consortium’s bid is now expected to be put forward for Premier League and government approval.

According to The Guardian, despite late interest from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Boehly's consortium is in a five-day exclusivity period after being designated as preferred bidders last week.

If Boehly's offer to buy Chelsea falls through, consortiums led by Sir Martin Broughton and Steve Pagliuca are keeping a close eye on the situation.
