Press reports revealed that Barcelona is targeting a contract with the Saudi League star, Al-Ittihad player.
Barca is seeking to strengthen its ranks during the current summer transfers, with distinguished players to return to the podium again after failing to win the Spanish League.
According to what the Spanish newspaper “Sport” reported, Barca expressed its desire to sign French star N’Golo Kante, the Saudi Al-Ittihad Jeddah midfielder, on loan this summer.
The Catalan club wants to borrow Kante from the Saudi team, as he is considered the most suitable option to strengthen the team’s ranks, especially after his brilliance in the Euro 2024 tournament.
The famous newspaper explained that the federation does not want the player to leave, especially after rejecting West Ham United’s offer.
The report concluded that the Blaugrana’s priority is to sign Neco Williams, and if the Tigers’ Castle continues to refuse to give up the player’s services, Barca will aim to sign the Spanish Mikel Merino, the Real Sociedad player.
Kante had moved to the brigadier general in the summer of 2023, coming from the English ranks of Chelsea, and participated with Al-Ittihad in 46 matches, in various competitions, during which he succeeded in scoring 4 goals. The French star’s contract extends until the summer of June 2026.
