While the transfer of N’Golo Kanté seemed to have fallen through after Fenerbahçe’s announcement, it was finally completed on Tuesday evening… thanks in particular to Erdogan.
French international N’Golo Kanté was transferred from Al-Ittihad to Fenerbahçe this Tuesday evening. A few hours earlier, the Turkish club had announced that Kanté’s arrival had fallen through because of the Saudi club.
But President Erdogan, who was flying at the same time on Tuesday to Saudi Arabia for a meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, used his influence.
