Chelsea defensive midfielder N’Golo Kante has agreed to join Al-Ittihad from the West London-based soccer club on a free transfer, Saudi Pro League champions confirmed Tuesday.
The 32-year-old Frenchman’s contract at Stamford Bridge expires at the end of June and he will join the Saudi side after on a three-year contract, reportedly worth £100 million ($108 million) per year. The Sun reported that the new contract is worth six times what Kante earned at Chelsea.
