N'Golo Kante agrees to join Al-Ittihad

According to BBC on June 21, the French midfielder will reunite with his compatriot Karim Benzema at Al-Ittihad club of the Saudi Pro League with a contract worth 86 million pounds for 3 years, with a 1-year extension.

In total, Kante will receive 100 million euros for 4 years of playing football.

Kante will join Al-Ittihad on a three-year contract

After 7 years with the Stamford Bridge team, the 32-year-old midfielder's contract will expire at the end of June, after a period of struggling with injuries and only having a total of 9 appearances for Chelsea last season.

Therefore, many experts believe that the Saudi Arabian champion is taking a risk with Kante as injury and age are making this midfielder, who is considered a "lung", no longer play effectively.

However, to reassure investors and fans, Al-Ittihad confirmed that the French star has undergone a rigorous medical examination at a modern medical center. The team's leaders must believe that with Kante's professional attitude and scientific advances in medicine and nutrition, he is capable of prolonging his career like Messi and Ronaldo.

Furthermore, the level of competition in Saudi Arabia's professional league is not as high as the Premier League or European cups, and Kante is unlikely to play much for the French national team. Therefore, the 32-year-old star is more than capable of contributing a lot to Al-Ittihad.

Hakim Ziyech also went to Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabian Premier League club Al Nassr has reached a verbal agreement to sign Chelsea midfielder Hakim Ziyech, with a contract until 2026. Al Nassr has offered a salary and the Moroccan star has accepted it.

The two clubs will make an announcement as soon as possible.
