Fenerbahçe management will demand a salary reduction in the critical meeting with the high-cost French star N'Golo Kante to maintain the team's internal financial balance. If Kante gives a negative response to this demand, the possibility of parting ways may arise.
Fenerbahçe management is preparing to take an important step to maintain internal financial balances ahead of the new season. The target of the yellow-navy team is the high-cost French star N'Golo Kante.
CRITICAL MEETING AFTER THE WORLD CUP
The management finds the salary of the 35-year-old experienced midfielder, who earns a net 11 million Euros annually, too high. Aiming to restore the salary balance within the team, the yellow-navy officials will sit down with Kante after the World Cup concludes. In the meeting, the star player will be asked to accept a salary reduction.
THEY MAY PART WAYS AT ANY MOMENT
This critical meeting will directly determine Kante's future with the yellow-navy team. It has been learned that if the experienced player reacts negatively to the salary reduction request, the Fenerbahçe management will seriously consider the option of parting ways.
DETAILS IN HIS CONTRACT
Kante, who joined the squad without a transfer fee from Saudi Arabian representative Al Ittihad during the mid-season break of the previous season, was paid a signing bonus of 14.4 million Euros during the transfer process. The French footballer, whose contract also includes a clause for a share of jersey sales, currently has a deal with Fenerbahçe running until June 30, 2028.
