Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante accepts he must take a drastic cut on his wages to move to Barcelona.

The French veteran, off contract in June, is a Bosman target for Barca.

However, Kante must overcome two hurdles to convince Barca to deal him in, says Sport.

The midfielder must accept a hefty pay-cut and also prove his fitness before the end of the season.

Kante is currently recovering from hamstring surgery, which has kept him out of France's World Cup squad.
