Here are the prominent headlines from the world press…
The Team: “Fenerbahçe finally added N’Golo Kante to its squad after FIFA mediation.”
TV5 World: “French national midfielder and world champion N’Golo Kante signed a contract with Fenerbahçe after two and a half seasons with Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Arabian league. As an indication of the value that coach Didier Deschamps placed on him, he was called up to the Euro 2024 squad and regained his place in the starting 11 of the French national team after a two-year break. Although his performance in Germany has diminished, his experience is incomparably unique, which is a sign of the value that coach Didier Deschamps places on him. “It is an essential factor when starting the tournament.”
Quest France: “N’Golo Kante’s transfer to Fenerbahçe has finally been approved by FIFA. The 2018 World Cup champion, who came to Saudi Arabia in July 2023 after spending eight seasons in the Premier League, was undoubtedly one of the best players in the league. He signed a contract valid for two and a half years, that is, until June 2028, with the club where Matteo Guendouzi and Sidiki Cherif also played.”
Record: “Finally, N’Golo Kante will leave Saudi Arabian football and join Fenerbahçe. Following the problems that arose the previous day due to the delay in the delivery of documents, which led to the Turkish club harshly criticizing Al-Ittihad, FIFA reportedly gave the green light to the operation on Tuesday afternoon.”
