The transfer chaos surrounding N'Golo Kanté was complete in the night leading up to Wednesday. The French World Cup winner is now, after all, moving to Fenerbahçe. "Giving up is not an option for us," the club initially tweeted, before the transfer was made official two hours later.
After the Turkish club had announced at noon that the deal had fallen through, the transfer chaos was now perfect. However, since the transfer window in Turkey remains open longer, the transfer can still go through.
Kanté is signing a contract until 2028 and is part of a swap deal. In return, Youssef En-Nesyri is moving to Kanté's former club Al Ittihad. According to media reports, the Saudis are paying 15 million euros, while Kanté is moving to Istanbul on a free transfer.
The Frenchman is said to have previously refused to take part in training at Al Ittihad in order to force his transfer. He has now succeeded.
