One of Fenerbahçe's biggest targets in the winter transfer period, the process for N'Golo Kante has gained momentum. The financial crisis at Al Ittihad has strengthened the possibility of star players leaving. Following these developments at Al Ittihad, it has been learned that Fenerbahçe's management may also consider the possibility of Karim Benzema alongside the transfer of N'Golo Kante.
Fenerbahçe, which started the transfer period quickly with the signings of Anthony Musaba, Matteo Guendouzi, and Mert Günok, had recently fallen silent. The management has intensified its contacts to finalize the transfer of N'Golo Kante and aims to have the French star ready for the match against Kocaelispor on Monday.
FINANCIAL CRISIS DEEPENS AT AL ITTIHAD
Uncertainty continues at the Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad due to financial difficulties. It is reported that the club's star players N'Golo Kante, Karim Benzema, and Moussa Diaby are not keen on extending their contracts, and the possibility of departures during the winter transfer period has become a serious topic of discussion.
DIABY ON HIS WAY TO INTER
According to Fabrizio Romano, Inter is very close to signing Moussa Diaby on loan from Al Ittihad. Due to the player's positive attitude towards the transfer, the Saudi club is expected to facilitate the loan transfer.
COUNTDOWN FOR BENZEMA
The crisis has deepened further on the Karim Benzema front. The French star, whose contract will expire at the end of the season, has reacted negatively to Al Ittihad's new contract offer and has halted negotiations. Benzema's request not to be included in the squad for the Al Fateh match has strengthened the possibility of his departure. Reports in the French press indicate that Benzema has evaluated the new terms offered to him as "playing for free." The experienced striker earns approximately 100 million euros annually at Al Ittihad.
FENERBAHÇE FANS EXCITED
The possibility of Benzema's departure has excited the fans of Fenerbahçe, who are still searching for a forward. The 38-year-old star has scored 16 goals in 21 official matches this season while wearing the Al Ittihad jersey. His overall performance at the Saudi club includes 54 goals and 17 assists in 83 matches.
