N’golo Kanté On The Verge Of Leaving Chelsea To Join Karim Benzema At Al-Ittihad1 min read

Chelsea star, N’golo Kanté is set to join Karim Benzema at Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia pro league’

 Al-Ittihad have reportedly offered N’golo Kanté a cool €100m per year for the next two years, which apparently isn’t a typo (and still only half of what Cristiano Ronaldo’s getting from Al Nassr).

A delegation from the £700bn Saudi Public Investment Fund presented the offer to Kanté on Tuesday, 6/06/2023.

Kanté leaving isn’t really a surprise given the way things had gone for him for the last couple years and the fact that he failed to agree a contract extension with Chelsea, but this development is still fairly surprising. But hey, he’s won it all and done it all, so now it’s time to get paid.

Best of luck, NG.
