N Golo Kante Signs with Fenerbahce After Successful Transfer NegotiationsN Golo Kante Signs with Fenerbahce After Successful Transfer Negotiations

Fenerbahce has confirmed the signing of French midfielder N’Golo Kante from the Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad.

Initially, the transfer appeared to be in jeopardy on Tuesday when Fenerbahce released a statement attributing the breakdown of negotiations to Al-Ittihad’s failure to submit the required documentation for the transfer. This move involved Morocco striker Youssef En-Nesyri transferring to Al-Ittihad as part of the deal.

However, on Wednesday, Fenerbahce announced that the issue had been rectified, allowing Kante to officially join the club after a two-and-a-half-year stint in Saudi Arabia.

At 34 years old, Kante made his move to Al-Ittihad from Chelsea in 2023, where he earned accolades including the Champions League, Premier League, Europa League, and FA Cup titles. He originally joined Chelsea from Leicester City in 2016, where he played a pivotal role in securing the Premier League title for the Foxes.

En-Nesyri, 28, is set to take the place of former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, who recently transferred to Saudi Pro League rivals Al-Hilal.
