Unprofessionalism! Transfers of N'Golo Kanté and Youssef En-Nesyri fell through due to late paperwork. What's next?

A very unpleasant story.

Details: According to Yağız Sabuncuoğlu on his X social media page, the transfer "swap" between Fenerbahçe and Al-Ittihad failed to go through on time because both parties uploaded the necessary documents into the TMS system in the final minutes of the transfer window. However, they were not approved within the granted extension period.

As per the agreement, Youssef En-Nesyri was set to join Al-Ittihad, while N'Golo Kanté was supposed to move to Turkish side Fenerbahçe. However, due to the documents being uploaded too late to the TMS system, the transfers simply were not approved as the window had already closed.

At the moment, both clubs have requested that the Saudi Pro League authorities allow the transfers to be completed despite the deadline having passed, but there is still no final answer from the federation.

Reminder: Done deal! Fenerbahçe reach agreement with N'Golo Kanté
