Following Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante could be the next star to move to Saudi Arabia, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema could soon be joined by N’Golo Kante in Saudi Arabia, which has no qualms about offering huge salaries to attract big-name football stars.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Saudi emissaries are in London to present an official proposal to the French international, whose contract with Chelsea expires at the end of June.
The wage offer could reach 100 million euros a year, including image rights and commercial agreements. Benzema’s Al Ittihad and Ronaldo’s Al Nassr are the interested clubs. However, the Saudi champions are the overwhelming favourites and hope to count on two French stars next season.
N’Golo Kante, for his part, is prioritizing a contract extension at Chelsea, but efforts have been ongoing since March apparently, and an agreement is yet to be reached.
