Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Kante will sign a two-year deal at Al Ittihad, with the option of a further season, and will earn a total salary of around €100m per season.

Chelsea had wanted to retain the services of Kante despite an injury-hit season that restricted the 32-year-old to just seven Premier League appearances in 2022/23.

The midfielder has instead decided on a new challenge after seven successful seasons in west London that saw Kante win the Premier League and Champions League among his honours at Stamford Bridge.

Kante will join up with former France team-mate Karim Benzema at Al Ittihad after the Ballon d’Or winner completed his move to the club from Real Madrid.
