On Tuesday, Fenerbahce released a statement accusing Al-Ittihad of failing to submit the required paperwork. The Turkish club claimed that the delay prevented the completion of the transfer process. The deal involved a linked move, with striker Youssef En-Nesyri set to join Al-Ittihad.

Despite the setback, negotiations continued as both clubs worked to resolve the issue. By Wednesday, the situation had been clarified and all documentation was completed. Fenerbahce then officially announced Kante as their new signing.

Kante joins the Turkish club after spending two and a half years with Al-Ittihad. The 34-year-old midfielder moved to Saudi Arabia in 2023 following a successful spell at Chelsea.

During his time at Chelsea, Kante won several major titles, including the UEFA Champions League, Premier League, Europa League, and FA Cup. He was widely recognized for his consistency and defensive contributions. His performances established him as one of the leading midfielders of his generation.

Before joining Chelsea, Kante played a key role in Leicester City’s Premier League title-winning campaign in the 2015–16 season. His move to Chelsea in 2016 marked a significant step in his career. He quickly became an essential part of the team’s success.

En-Nesyri Moves to Al-Ittihad as Benzema Replacement in Transfer Deal

The agreement also includes Morocco international Youssef En-Nesyri moving to Al-Ittihad. The 28-year-old striker is expected to replace Karim Benzema in the squad. Benzema recently left Al-Ittihad earlier in the week to join Saudi Pro League rivals Al-Hilal.

En-Nesyri brings experience at both club and international level, making him a suitable addition to Al-Ittihad’s attack. His arrival is part of the club’s effort to restructure its squad following Benzema’s departure. The transfer reflects a strategic exchange between the two clubs.

The initial delay in completing the deal highlighted the complexity of multi-player transfers. Administrative coordination and timely submission of documents are essential in such agreements. The resolution demonstrates both clubs’ commitment to finalizing the move.
