As reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante’s potential transfer to Al Ittihad is nearing completion, with both parties reaching an agreement last week. The only remaining step is for the player to sign the contract to finalize the deal.
N’Golo Kante has experienced a challenging season at Chelsea, where he has had limited playing opportunities despite his seven-year tenure at the club.
The French midfielder has appeared in just nine competitive matches this season, with seven in the Premier League and two in the Champions League.
Consequently, the World Cup Winner is seeking a new destination in the upcoming transfer window, and it appears that he may have already found one.
