N'Golo Kanté leaving Al Ittihad?
Ngolo Kante was considered for a return to France with Paris FC. Antoine Arnault, the owner of Paris FC, was actively involved in negotiations to sign the former Chelsea and Leicester City midfielder. While agreeing with Kante was not difficult, Al Ittihad's high demands to release the player, who has only one year left on his contract, prevented the deal from being finalized. The door remains open for a potential return to France.
According to L'Équipe, Paris FC's attempt to sign French international N'Golo Kanté was unsuccessful. Since mid-August, discussions had been ongoing, led by Antoine Arnault, but Paris FC could not secure Kanté's transfer. The conditions for his departure, as demanded by his club Al-Ittihad, ultimately prevented his move to the Paris team. The negotiations were directly handled by Antoine Arnault, who represents the major shareholder, and Marco Neppe, the incoming technical director for the newly promoted Parisian club. The transfer deal was impeded by the stipulations set by Al-Ittihad, with which Kanté still had a year remaining on his contract.
