You want to assemble a team! Al-Nassr has made a strong showing on the transfer market and wouldn’t settle for Cristiano Ronaldo. As is well known, the Saudi Arabian club made a million-dollar offer for “CR7” in the middle of the World Cup. Besides, as revealed by portal FootMercato, they would now be knocking on the veteran midfielder’s door N’Golo Kanté – The best of N’Golo Kanté.
The Russia 2018 world champions were unable to feature with the French team in Qatar 2022 due to a hamstring injury and have recovered for the Premier League and Champions League. In that sense, the specialist site noted that the 31-year-old is not ruling out the possibility of leaving Chelsea next June.
“The Saudi club, which is currently the subject of much talk, is also very interested in signing the Frenchman as a free player. Although he is still very attached to London and would like to remain there, Kanté is not opposed to joining Saudi Arabia,” they said on their website.

However, the above-mentioned media outlet points out that the main obstacle would be the quota of foreigners that the Saudi championship allows. For this reason, “We will have to find a place in the squad as the regulations only allow seven players from outside the community”.
It should be noted that Al-Nassr would not be the only one interested in Kanté. The newspaper Sport stated that Spanish FC Barcelona have negotiated that the player will come as a free agent at the end of the season.
