A New Chapter for Kanté
N’Golo Kanté, who has been a key player for Chelsea and the French national team, is set to embark on a new journey with Al-Ittihad. The club has been making significant moves in the transfer market, and the addition of Kanté is seen as a major coup.
Al-Ittihad’s Ambitious Moves
Al-Ittihad’s recent signings demonstrate the club’s ambitious plans. The acquisition of Karim Benzema from Real Madrid was a statement of intent, and the addition of Kanté further strengthens their squad. The club’s management, under the leadership of Mansour Al-Balawi, has shown a clear vision of competing at the highest level.
With these high-profile signings, Al-Ittihad is undoubtedly becoming a force to be reckoned with in international football. Fans and pundits alike are eagerly waiting to see how these new additions will impact the club’s performance in the upcoming season. As quoted by the club’s manager, “We are building a team that can compete with the best. The arrival of Benzema and Kanté is a testament to our ambition.“
End of Contract with Chelsea
Kante’s contract with Chelsea is set to expire at the end of this month, making him a free agent. The official confirmation of the deal will not be possible until then. However, with the statements from two top sources, it can be considered a done deal.
