In the early morning of June 21, Beijing time, the Saudi league champion team Jeddah United (formerly translated as Ittihad) officially announced that it officially signed French international defender Kante, who will wear the No. 7 shirt. Not long ago, Jeddah United had just signed French striker Benzema.
Kante previously played for Chelsea in the Premier League and his contract expires at the end of the season. In 2018, N'Golo Kante won the World Cup with France, and in 2021 he helped Chelsea win the Champions League.
Jeddah United revealed that Kanter completed a physical examination in Dubai on Tuesday (June 20) local time, and then signed a contract with Jeddah United, and the two sides signed a three-year contract. Not long ago, Jeddah United signed Ballon d'Or winner Benzema. At the end of this year, Jeddah United, which owns Benzema and N'Golo Kante, will compete in the Club World Cup.
Journalist Romano revealed details of N'Golo Kante's contract, but there was an obvious mistake. Jeddah officially announced a three-year signing (i.e. until 2026), but Romano said that the two sides signed a contract until 2027, with Kante earning a salary of 25 million euros per year and a total salary of 100 million euros over four years.
Previously, Romano also made a huge mistake in his transfer report, first revealing that Kante's annual salary is 100 million euros, and recently said that Kante's total salary for 4 years is 100 million euros, a huge difference. Romano also said Kante would arrive in Saudi Arabia in July.
