Kanté should join Benzema. According to L’Équipe, the 32-year-old French midfielder will sign for three seasons with the Saudi club Al-Ittihad. He will have spent 7 seasons with the London club with which he won the Champions League in 2021 under the orders of Thomas Tuchel and the Premier League in 2017.

At the end of his contract with the Blues, the former Leicester player had a nightmarish season marred by injuries. Absent from Didier Deschamps’ team in Qatar for the last World Cup, he has only played 7 Premier League games and 2 Champions League games this season.
