Press reports indicated that the Al-Ittihad management is awaiting the match against Al-Fateh in the Roshan League, scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, to make a final decision on renewing Kante's contract or allowing him to leave this winter.

Sources confirmed that Fenerbahçe Club has reached a full agreement with N'Golo Kanté regarding the contract terms, pending the union's approval to sell the remaining duration of the French player's contract.
