A new 2018 world champion may well find France. After Paul Pogba, who is preparing to discover Ligue 1 with AS Monaco, Olivier Giroud, author of a shattering return with Lille, and Florian Thauvin, who followed the movement by engaging with Lens, it was indeed N'Golo Kanté who could in turn return to France.
According to Foot Mercato, the former Caennais seems close to a departure from Al-Ittihad, where he has been playing for two seasons alongside Karim Benzema. The leaders of the Djeedah club would in any case be open to his departure and the native of Suresnes would have already been offered to two clubs in Ligue 1: Paris FC and AS Monaco. And if Al-Qadsiah, another resident of the Saudi championship, is also in the ranks, the prospect of the 2026 World Cup could encourage him to return to France.
In difficulty since the resumption with already two defeats in two matches, Paris FC is in search of new recruits, especially in the midfield, and is also on the lookout, the financial means of the Arnault family, which can undoubtedly allow it to get along with N'Golo Kanté. As for the Rocher club, certainly relieved to see Denis Zakaria remaining, he must prepare for the departure of Singoutou Magassa in the midfield. The young midfielder is very courted and the operation should bring in some 20 million euros to the vice-champions of France.
The Reformed Kanté-Pogba duo?
An arrival of N'Golo Kanté would not be in any case to displease the Monegasque supporters. This is evidenced by the enthusiastic reactions which followed the announcement of the discussions between the entourage of the tricolor midfielder and the club of the Principality. In particular because of the prospect of seeing the Kanté-Pogba tandem reformed.
“Propaganda is launched to redo this duo in Monaco”, “it's too criminal”, “it would be fire”, “Monaco please to see Kanté Pogba”, “Pogba Kante in Monaco the dream”, “Pitié recruit the SVP, we want to find the pogba/kante duo at the CDM 2026” … These are some of the reactions of football enthusiasts on social networks.
