Al-Ittihad Club of Saudi Arabia is expected to receive an official offer from Turkish club Fenerbahçe to sign the French international N'Golo Kanté during the current winter transfer window.

The French player had expressed his willingness to move to Fenerbahçe after positive talks, paving the way for the Jeddah club to make the final decision regarding his future.

Al-Ittihad Club prefers to keep Kanté until the end of the upcoming summer season, but it will review the financial and sporting offer before making a final decision on the deal.

Portuguese coach Sérgio Conceição, the head coach of Al-Ittihad, informed Kanté of his desire for the player to remain with the team until the end of the season, but the player is open to the opportunity of playing in Europe.

Negotiations with the Turkish club are considered the most challenging part of the deal, as the federation needs to make a precise decision regarding the departure of the 35-year-old French midfielder.

Kanté hopes to play at a high level of competition in preparation for the 2026 World Cup with the French national team, which makes him excited to return to the European league in the near future.
