The Saudi club of Al-Ittihad "studies the results of the medical examinations" of the midfielder of the Blues. On Wednesday, an internal source at the Jeddah-based club told AFP that Kanté, 32, had signed a 3-year deal with the club.
But the leaders of the club want to have all the guarantees on the physical condition of the 2018 world champion with 53 selections before definitively validating his arrival. According to several media, the winner of the Premier League in 2016 and 2017 (with Leicester then Chelsea) and the Champions League in 2021 (with Chelsea) could reach 100 million euros per year.
