UEFA Champions League
Besiktas has set its sights on N’Golo Kanté to strengthen its midfield in the upcoming transfer window. At 34 years old, the midfielder from Al-Ittihad could end his time in Saudi Arabia and return to European football. According to reports from France, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already had discussions with the player, who would be open to a new challenge in his career.
The World Cup champion with France in 2018 has performed remarkably during his time in the Saudi league, playing 68 matches, scoring nine goals, and providing the same number of assists. However, despite his prominence, he has not yet won any titles with his team, which could influence his decision to seek new opportunities. With Al-Ittihad leading the league with nine matchdays remaining, Kanté could bid farewell to Saudi Arabia with a championship before taking the next step.
Will Kanté return to Europe?
In addition to Besiktas' interest, the midfielder remains an attractive prospect for several European teams. During the last Euro Cup, he showcased that his level of play remains competitive, standing out as one of the key figures in Didier Deschamps' national team. His performances even drew attention from clubs such as Atlético Madrid and Barcelona.
Currently, Besiktas is leading the race to secure his services, but the outcome will depend on the offers Kanté receives and his decision regarding his future. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, the player might opt for a return to a more demanding league to stay at the forefront of international football.
