There may be another big "explosion" in the Turkish football transfer market. According to reports, Fenerbahçe has reached an agreement with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad for the transfer of 34-year-old defensive midfielder N'Golo Kanté.
Journalist Florian Plattenberg reported this. The source notes that the Istanbul club will pay approximately €4 million for the experienced French player. Notably, the contract between Fenerbahçe and Kanté is reportedly set to run until 2028. So, this is not a "single-season option," but a longer plan - a complete project.
For information, Kante had been playing for Al-Ittihad since 2023. This season, he has played 18 matches in the championship, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist. For a defensive midfielder, these indicators aren't bad - especially considering that Kanté's style is "balanced, not attacking."
If this transfer is officially confirmed, Fenerbahçe will strengthen discipline in the center: Kanté is a player who can be both a brake and a motor on the pitch. Now it's interesting: how will the new atmosphere in Istanbul reveal him again? The intrigue is ready for fans - you can prepare popcorn.
