French World Cup winner N’Golo Kante has agreed to join Saudi Pro League champions Al Ittihad on a three-year contract when his Chelsea deal expires this summer, the club announced on Tuesday.
Kante, whose Chelsea deal officially expires June 30, will join Karim Benzema at the Jeddah-based club and becomes the latest big name to move to Saudi Arabia following Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer to Al Nassr in January.
Like many of the players moving from Europe to the Middle East, Kante will be pocketing eye-watering wages with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reporting he will earn €100million, plus image and commercial rights over the course of his four-year deal.
