Chelsea announcement on way – World class star completes medical – €100m per season salary

CHELSEA star N’Golo Kante has reportedly completed his medical tests ahead of his move to Al-Ittihad, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Kante has been such a brilliant player for Chelsea ever since he arrived at the club all those seasons ago  -but over the past 12 months he has been plagued by injuries.

It has impacted how much game time he has received at Chelsea – and also impacted his ability to get the kind of deal that he desires to stay at Stamford Bridge.

However, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr have identified Kante as a potential signing and were in talks with the player’s agents ahead of a summer transfer to Saudi Arabia.

But now it seems that Al-Ittihad have won the race for the midfielder – Fabrizio Romano Twwted: ‘N’Golo Kanté to Al Ittihad, here we go! #CFC

‘Medical tests completed in London.

‘ 2 year deal with an option for further season.

‘€100m per season salary — figure includes image rights, commercial deals and ‘creative’ portfolio.’

Despite his injury issues – Kante is still one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League and many Chelsea fans would be very sad to see him depart the club.

But at this stage of his career – if he cannot get the terms that he desires – then a move away may be the best thing for him.

However – saying that – a move to Saudi Arabia is not what he should be making – there have been some big clubs in Europe that are keen on the man – so he should have stayed at the top of the game.
