Arab football continues to capture everyone's attention in recent times. The Saudi Arabian league, which used to receive some figures in the twilight of their careers, has undergone significant changes. In the previous season, Al-Nassr managed to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, and now Al-Ittihad has acquired the rights to Karim Benzema.

However, all indications suggest that these two stars could be accompanied by N'Golo Kanté, the French midfielder who is a champion of the Champions League and the World Cup. Kanté's situation at Chelsea is not the best due to his limited participation this season, mainly due to injuries, and his contract expires on June 30th.

Kanté's future is still unclear and has been a source of uncertainty for many months. In February, it was reported that the French international was ready to sign a contract extension with the club at Stamford Bridge, but nothing has been finalized yet, even though Kanté's priority was to stay at Chelsea.

However, amidst this uncertainty, the top tier of Saudi football is ready to make a big impact. A delegation is currently in London to present a proposal to Kanté. The two clubs involved are Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo's team, and Al-Ittihad, where it is expected that Karim Benzema will join soon.

How much are they offering him?

The Saudi offer for Kanté is estimated to reach 100 million EUR, including image rights and commercial agreements, according to Romano. The top tier of Saudi football is expecting a summer filled with arrivals and, according to AFP, aims to sign 10 high-profile players from the top divisions of Europe.
