The transfer will be officially announced soon.
Details: According to SkySports journalist Florian Plettenberg on his social media page X, 34-year-old French national team and Al-Ittihad defensive midfielder N'Golo Kanté has reached an agreement with Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

It is worth noting that Kanté has played for Al-Ittihad since June 2023, making 105 appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing 11 assists.
