After confirming the hiring of Karim Benzema, Al-Ittihad, a club from Saudi Arabia, is close to taking another star out of Europe. Its about N’Golo Kantea 32-year-old French midfielder who is leaving chelseaand according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, should sign a contract in the coming days.

Seeking to assemble an even more starred team, the current national champion is a few details away from making the player’s arrival official: “N’Golo Kanté set to join Al Ittihad on free transfer – official offer could be accepted soon“, said the journalist, who followed: “Final details are being discussed and the deal will close.“.

Having made a career of meteoric evolution, Kanté arrived at Chelsea in mid-2016, shortly after winning the Premier League for Leicester City. Two years later, the player, who was considered the best in the world in the position, had won the second championship, in addition to the 2018 World Cup title, for his country.

With a sequence of injuries, the defensive midfielder ended up losing space at the club, and not having continuity in recent seasons, which made Chelsea rethink a possible renewal. That way, the Arabs won’t need to invest in paying the English, which will be offset by the athlete’s salary offer, which promises to reach 100 million euros per season.
