If Cristiano Ronaldo will not sign in Al-Hilal to compete in the Club World Cup (he was asked by other qualified clubs for the new FIFA tournament but should extend in Al-Nassr, where he is at the end of the contract in 20 days), N'Golo Kanté could do so.
The 2018 world champion with the French team, now 34, has been playing in Al-Ittihad since July 2023 and won the Saudi Pro League with his team, led by Laurent Blanc and led by Danilo Pereira, Fabinho, Moussa Diaby, Houssem Aouar and the Ballon d'Or 2022 Karim Benzema. Now al-Hilal negotiates with Al-Ittihad to have Kanté for a few weeks, the time of the World Cup in the United States!
Al-Hilal leaders are optimistic about the idea of strengthening in this way, as indicated The Athletic. As a reminder, when Saudi Arabia decided to fill its championship of star players at the end of 2022, the four large clubs that are Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli were taken up at 75% each by the famous PIF, the surplus and investment background of the Kingdom (which also owns Newcastle).
N'Golo Kanté against Real
N'Golo Kanté will suddenly strengthen a team in which Yassine Bounou, his former Chelsea Kalidou Kulidou Koulibaly, Joao Cancelo (probably package), Renan Lodi, Ruben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic-Savic-savic, Milinkovic-Savic-Savic-Savic-Savic-Savic-Savic. Al-Hilal begins directly against Real Madrid of Kylian Mbappé, Wednesday of next week, before facing Salzburg and Pachuca in the group H. All the meetings of this club World Cup are to be followed for free on the Dazn channels.
The former Leicester and Chelsea player, elected best Premier League player in 2017, is out of a full season with Al-Ittihad (31 matches, 4 goals) and was holder in the victory in the National Cup final against Al-Qadsiah (1-0).
