N’Golo Kanté does not intend to close the loop now with the Blues. As he officially signed up with Saudi club Al-Ittihad on Wednesday, the 32-year-old midfielder concluded his farewell letter to Chelsea by inviting supporters of his new club and of… the French team.
“See you soon on the pitch for new adventures with Al Ittihad and the Blues”, wrote the 2018 world champion. A way of expressing his desire to continue in the tricolor jersey, although he has not worn it for a year due to a cascade of injuries. However, Didier Deschamps has never really been fond of calling players from outside Europe. With the exception of André-Pierre Gignac who had participated in Euro 2016 while playing for the Tigres (Mexico), no one else had a similar fortune with the Blues. Case to follow.
