Turkish giants Fenerbahce have announced the signing of midfielder N’golo Kante from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad.
The Turkish club initially announced the collapse of the transfer due to the incorrect information supplied by Al-Ittihad.
The Istanbul outfit had agreed to sign the France international for €4 million, with forward Youssef En-Nesyri moving to the Saudi Arabian side.
Fenerbahce have now confirmed that the irregularity has been resolved. Kante has joined them on a two-and-a-half-year deal and is expected to be unveiled today.
En-Nesyri has also completed his move to Al-Ittihad, replacing Karim Benzema, who joined Al-Hilal last month.
Kante joined Al-Ittihad in 2023 from Chelsea and enjoyed a fruitful time at the club, winning the Saudi Pro League and King’s cup.
The 34-year-old made 110 appearances across all competitions, chipping in with 10 goals and 11 assists.
The experienced midfielder is expected to add leadership, defensive solidity, and top-level experience to Fenerbahce’s midfield options.
The Yellow Canaries also signed former Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi during the winter transfer window, and beat Crystal Palace to the signing of Sidiki Cherif.
Fenerbahce are just three points behind leaders Galatasaray in the Super Lig standings and have also qualified for the UEFA Europa League play-offs.
