Club Al-Nassr is looking to sign Chelsea superstar. Al-Nassr of the Saudi Pro League, who have been strongly connected with a winter transfer for Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal, are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante. For the previous six years, Kante, 31, has been an essential first-team player for the Blues, helping them win six championships. He has played very little for Graham Potter’s team so far in the 2022–23 campaign, missing 19 games because of a chronic hamstring ailment.
Contrarily, Ronaldo, who has a contract offer worth £173 million per year on the table, is anticipated to secure a free transfer to Al-Nassr in the forthcoming winter transfer window. He agreed to the mutual termination of his Manchester United contract earlier last month. In advance of a potential transfer, Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr have already had direct post-World Cup communication. Al-Nassr is rather optimistic and would want to close a transaction before the year is over, despite the lack of a firm timeframe for a decision.
Foot Mercato claims that Al-Nassr and Barcelona will compete for Kante’s services. The player, who is in the final year of his contract, is anticipated to leave Chelsea on a free transfer the following summer. Kante is reportedly satisfied with the idea of staying in London, although he is reportedly open to the possibility of joining the Saudi Arabian team. Additionally, from a financial perspective, Al-Nassr is thought to be the front-runner to sign the 2018 FIFA World Cup victor.
Contrarily, Chelsea and Andrey Santos of Vasco da Gama have reached a £20 million agreement, according to the Evening Standard. The Blues are well-positioned to deal with Kante’s departure thanks to the additions of Cesare Casadei and Carney Chukwuemeka to their ranks. Kante has made 262 appearances for the West London team in all competitions, recording 13 goals and 15 assists overall.
