Paris FC came close to pulling off the deal of the year: N’Golo Kanté could have settled in the capital this summer. Antoine Arnault acknowledged it straightforwardly: the operation was almost finalized before collapsing at the very last moment.
The Parisian boss even reveals the behind-the-scenes details of the saga: Kanté was willing, the PFC was pushing hard, everything was signed in their minds. But Al-Ittihad abruptly shut the door, blocking the departure of the 34-year-old World Champion. Arnault does not hide his disappointment: “I was sad that he didn’t come, he also wanted to come. With N’Golo, we would probably have five more points today.”
