THE WORLD PRESS IS TALKING ABOUT THIS TRANSFER
Kante's signing of a 2.5-year contract with Fenerbahçe has also created a significant impact in the world press. Here are the comments made about this transfer...
''GREEN LIGHT HAS BEEN GIVEN''
Record: "Finally, N'Golo Kante will leave Saudi Arabian football and join Fenerbahçe. Following the issues that arose due to the delay in the delivery of documents the other day, which led to the Turkish club harshly criticizing Al-Ittihad, it was reported that FIFA gave the green light to the operation on Tuesday afternoon."
''JOINED FENERBAHÇE''
Reuters: "Kante joined Fenerbahçe after the transfer dispute."
''FENERBAHÇE HAS ADDED KANTE TO ITS SQUAD''
L'Equipe: "Fenerbahçe has finally added N'Golo Kanté to its squad after FIFA mediation."
''UNMATCHABLE AND UNIQUE''
TV5 Monde: "French national midfielder and world champion N'Golo Kanté signed a contract with Fenerbahçe after spending two and a half seasons at Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Arabian league. As a sign of the value that national team coach Didier Deschamps placed on him, he was called up to the Euro 2024 squad and regained his place in the starting eleven of the French national team after a two-year absence. Although his performance in Germany had declined, his experience is uniquely unmatched; this is an essential factor, especially when starting a tournament that is expected to be long."
''FINALLY APPROVED''
Quest France: "N'Golo Kanté's transfer to Fenerbahçe has finally been approved by FIFA. After spending eight seasons in the Premier League, the 2018 World Cup champion, who moved to Saudi Arabia in July 2023, was undoubtedly one of the best players in the league. He signed a contract valid until June 2028, which is two and a half years, with the club where Mattéo Guendouzi and Sidiki Chérif also play."
