Formerly renowned for his exemplary combativeness and his foolproof cardio, N’Golo Kanté is no longer as dashing as in his prime. After making the Blues and Tricolors happy in 2018, the midfielder has had to face a much more difficult phase of his career in recent months. Disturbed by the physical glitches, the native of Paris has indeed played very little this season.
In the Premier League, the 32-year-old has only had 6 small starts in 2022-2023. Her muscle injuries also deprived her of the 2022 World Cup with the Blues, a real heartbreak for all the French public but also for Didier Deschamps. Despite this sad record, the former player of the Stade Malherbe de Caen intends to put on his crampons but where?

Another rather attractive possibility is indeed emerging for the Habs.

The same source indicates for good reason that N’Golo Kanté is one of the most popular in Saudi Arabia. No less than three Saudi clubs have indeed approached the Frenchman to offer his services. According to our colleagues, it is Al-Ittihad, the new stable of Karim Benzema, Al-Nassr where he would find Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Hilal. If Al-Ittihad seemed to have almost completed the file, the French agent would still be in the negotiation phase.
Injured, N’Golo Kanté also had to give up the gathering of the Blues.
