The Turkish club Fenerbahçe has decided to submit an official offer to the Saudi club Al-Ittihad to contract N'Golo Kanté during the current transfer window, without waiting for the end of the season.

According to Italian journalist Gianluca Longari, Fenerbahçe's management wants to bring the French midfielder to Turkey immediately, even though his contract with Al-Ittihad ends with the conclusion of the current season.

The Turkish club aims to get ahead of the summer transfer market, where Kanté will be available as a free agent, by convincing Al-Ittihad to release the player early for a financial offer.

This move comes as part of Fenerbahçe's efforts to strengthen its lineup with significant experience in the midfield, benefiting from the illustrious career of the former Chelsea star and his ability to make a difference at both the continental and local levels.
