Two years after his golden exile in Saudi Arabia, N’Golo Kanté is preparing to shake up the transfer market. At 34, the tireless midfielder no longer wants to shine far from the spotlight and is heading toward an imminent split with Al-Ittihad.
Kanté is set to change scenery. Out of contract next June and determined not to extend, the 2018 World Cup winner is pushing for a move this winter to regain the spotlight and put himself back in the race for major international tournaments.
A Return to Europe and a New Challenge
Always exemplary on the pitch, Kanté has shown he has lost none of his impact, but his Saudi adventure has ended up distancing him from the European front stage. His surprise return to the France squad rekindled one certainty: to remain credible until the 2026 World Cup, he must return to a more competitive league. At Al-Ittihad, the message is clear: better to sell now than lose him for free in a few months.
And the question already buzzing behind the scenes of the transfer window is on everyone’s lips: where will N’Golo Kanté sign? One club seems to have taken the lead, Fenerbahçe, ready to offer him a central role and a new challenge worthy of his status, according to Foot Mercato.
But in this case, nothing is set in stone yet. One thing is certain: the Kanté saga is only just beginning, and his next choice could well mark one of the winter’s biggest moves.
