The tricolor sizes land in Al Ittihad. After the arrival of Karim Benzema at the start of the transfer window, the defending champions of Saudi Arabia signed a big blow by securing the services of the Ballon d’Or 2022. A few weeks later, he was joined by his compatriot and champion of the World 2018 N’Golo Kante.

On the club’s social media, the 32-year-old midfielder received a nice welcome message from his new team-mate, Karim Benzema: “Hi N’Golo. I once told you that you were the best box-to-box player on the planet. Now I’m happy to be able to play with you again. And of course, in the best team in Saudi Arabia. See you in Jeddah! “. A message that pleased the former Chelsea player who replied: “Thank you Karim, happy to see you again, thank you for your words, I am very happy to play with you, you are the best player in the world. I’m very excited to play with the Tigers in front of the fans. Take care and see you soon! “. It remains to be seen whether the two players will be just as accomplices on the pitch.
