The transfer saga surrounding Kanté has officially come to an end.
Details: Today, the official page of Turkish side Fenerbahçe announced that 34-year-old France international defensive midfielder N'Golo Kanté has officially joined the squad.
Kanté's transfer was filled with complications and drama, but both parties finally managed to reach an agreement with FIFA to complete the move.
It is reported that Kanté has joined Fenerbahçe from Al-Ittihad as a free agent, signing a contract with the Turkish giants that runs until 2028.
Earlier, reports suggested that Kanté's transfer to Fenerbahçe was at risk of collapsing because the paperwork was submitted at the last moment and did not clear in time. However, as we can see, the clubs managed to resolve the situation.
Kanté joined Al-Ittihad in 2023 as a free agent. He made 105 appearances for the Saudi powerhouse, scoring 10 goals and providing 11 assists. According to Transfermarkt, N'Golo Kanté's market value is estimated at €4.5 million.
Reminder: Unprofessionalism! Transfers of N'Golo Kanté and Youssef En-Nesyri fell through due to late paperwork. What's next?
