Kante is a great player and person and we can only be happy for him that after leaving for the Saudi league he did not slow down, but trained and played like a professional, unlike Neymar and deservedly played in the base of the French national team at the Euros and although the French national team showed a terrible game, Kante still runs on the field without stopping and is reliable in the support zone. In general, the transition to the Saudi league is no longer a soccer retirement, if a player still retains professionalism on the field and off it and the examples of Kante, Coulibaly, Laport and Cristiano Ronaldo is a good example of this.
So I think that if De Bruyne moves to the Saudi league, he will also continue to play for the Belgium national team.

So victory looks like this. With great players, everyone wants them. Ederson's a wall. Magical De Bruyne. They're no longer kids. They must consider family and future. This Saudi league throws money around like candy. You cant blame them for looking. Smart business. I love these guys. They're great for City. This is sports. Winning and transformation are involved. You build for the future with youthful blood like Eze. Losing legends is hard, but life goes on. Always improve and move forward. Manchester City will only rise.

The truth is Ngolo Kante had an incredible performance at the recently concluded European Championship, So I expected many European clubs to come for his services which is why I wasn't surprised when it was reported that West Ham tabled a certain amount of money in their offer to sign him back to Europe after just one season he left English Premier League side Chelsea. Despite the offer from West Ham and any other European club that wasn't reported, the decision to return to Europe or not will still be decided by the France international but considering the report in the link you attached, it's obvious he's happy with his current club Al Ittihad and doesn't have any plan of returning to Europe this summer.

Al Ittihad which was champions of the Saudi League at the end of the 2023 having too many problems during their defend of title so now they are bringing good changes which are going to have good improvement for them in coming season and also want to have challenging matches against top clubs Al Hilal and Al Nassr.

Just because of this we are having rumours they are going to recruit Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson, but now things are not having any positive movement for them in this season because both are staying in Manchester City but at the end of coming season we will have these players are going to be part of this club because they will end their contracts with having no chance of extension.

Saudi League is having some serious intention of bringing too many big names here in their league which is needs huge funds which are not problem for them, but they need to be had some solid strategy for this.

There is no way that Kante will return to Europe. Kante still has a contract with Al Ittihad until June 30, 2026. It means he will play with Al Ittihad in the next 2 seasons. When his contract is over, he will be 35 years old. I'm not sure if West Ham or any other European teams will be interested to sign him. I think Kante will have 2 options when his contract with Al itithad ends. He may consider to retire, or extend his contract with Al Ittihad 1-2 seasons only.

Sure, he will respect his contract with Al Ittihad. He also prefers to stay because Laurent Blanc becomes the coach. There is no way that he will have an idea to leave Al Ittihad because it won't be a wise decision. As long as he can be the main player in Al Ittihad and he gest enough salary, I think he will never leave Al Ittihad. Moreover, the board and the coach really trust on him. This is just a strong reason for him to focus on his career in Al Ittihad.

Anyway, Kante already stated that he is happy in Al Ittihad and decide to stay.

Difficulty at top stage? Kanté will continue to explore in his career which is not ending anytime soon. Al Ittihad is a prominent elite SPL club and capable of holding down their players to good terms. But for Ngolo Kanté who's on the lists of most competitive european clubs, he's targeted by quite good numbers of elite clubs in the English Premier League, he's still very active as if he's in his early 20s.

Westham United was bold enough to table bidding offer for Ngolo Kantè, they have thoughts about making round improvising strategic improvement for the club and counting the Frenchman as top priority for their signing budget in the summer doesn't surprise me.

Kante is having impressive performance in Euro 2024 just because of this we have suddenly him back in intention for the Premier League which is surely not ideal for him because in last two seasons with Chelsea usually he was having injuries and other troubles which make him problematic player but here in Saudi Pro League he is having better things which are helping him for having better performance so he needs to be stayed here.

Mostly peoples are feeling after joining this league players career having negative impact, but now we have completely opposite of this because Kante doing good job with Al Ittihad and now Premier League clubs are having good interest after watching his improved performance, so things like these can go favourable for many other players as well for the better future and having improvement into their performance.

Of course Ederson and De Bruyne have achieved good number of trophies with Manchester united and they have also contributed a lot to the success of City. So moving on with their lives to SPL is not a bad option because the funds is quite tempting and very good to motivate any player to come over to SPL. No need of them getting worried of playing in European competitions anymore because retirement will be the next plan when leaving SPL.

Yes, the Saudi Pro League has attracted attention with its hunt for top talent from Europe. Amid the forest of rumors about the departure of two pillars Kevin de Bruyne and Ederson Moraes. This information may be true because Man City is considering recruiting Eberechi Eze for 68 million pounds to replace Kevin De Bruyne. They also target PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma to replace Ederson Moraes who is almost certain to leave. As the new season approaches anything can happen and Man City needs to consider and prepare. This potential transfer could mark the end of Ederson and Kevin de Bruyne's successful period in the Premier League and the opening of a new chapter in the Saudi Pro League. Perhaps they will not regret having achieved so many achievements over the years in Man City. Coming to the Saudi Pro League will be an opportunity for them to earn money to prepare for retirement.

The main reason why Chelsea released Kante was because they were worried about the injuries suffered by the midfielder in the last two seasons at Chelsea, so Chelsea no longer renewed the French International player contract. Another reason why Kante chose to move to Al Ittihad is of course because of the salary offer and various luxurious facilities that can be obtained, which is not bad at all for a player who is at the end of his career. Besides that, Kante seems likely to stay with Al Ittihad next season, West Ham will most likely fail to recruit him. Al Ittihad are not experiencing any financial problems, so they do not need to cash in on Kante in the transfer window, in fact they plan to recruit other top European players, one of which is Manchester City goalkeeper Enderson.

When Kante moved to Al Ittihad in the transfer market last season, his performance was very good. But I also don't understand why Chelsea let Kante go to Al Ittihad at that time. Then currently Kante's name is being hotly discussed, because he is being targeted again by clubs from Europe. Maybe because of his epic performance while defending France at the Euros, his name has skyrocketed again. Even Barcelona reportedly really wants Kante's services. However, as we know, even though Kante is quite old, he still has a fairly high market price. So of course European teams who want to recruit Kante will definitely be hampered by this. Plus, his contract at Al Ittihad is still long so Kante's price will definitely be even more expensive. And considering that Kante is still under a fairly long contract at Al Ittihad, I doubt Al Ittihad will let Kante go to another club this season. The reason is that Al Ittihad really needs Kante this season, so it is very likely that Kante will stay at Al Ittihad for at least one more season.

There is nothing much Kante can do after the owner said he would not let him go, especially since he still has remaining contract, so as a professional Kante will definitely be aware of that and he will respect his remaining contract with Al Ittihad. After all, when he arrived and when he played for Al Ittihad no problems happened to him, yes we also all know that Kante is one of those players who almost never has problems, either with teammates, coaches or management, and even He is known as a player who is liked a lot because of his attitude.

Rumors of Kante's move to West Ham are now over with what Al Ittihad said. In fact, previously there were rumors saying that Al Ittihad would not mind selling him, but with what we hear now these rumors have been dispelled and we will still see Kante playing with Al Ittihad next season.

Al-Ittihad are interested in signing Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes. Ederson performed very well last season. 14 clean sheets in 41 matches. But the offer is rumored to be 50 million Euro, which is very attractive. If City don't sign a new goalkeeper, Stefan Ortega will go in goal. If this transfer happens, Al-Ittihad will be in safe hands.
As for Kevin De Bruyne, different sources are reporting different news. One source says Kevin De Bruyne has accepted the offer, the clubs are expected to agree, another source says Kevin De Bruyne has not accepted the offer. We don't know who to trust here.

It’s obvious why other European teams still see some qualities in Kante he is old but still got so much to offer, he proved that everyone in this Euro competition after playing wonderfully well like a young player despite failing to lead France to glory. I believe no top team will want him but some average teams in Europe might be seeking his services to boost their squad. He is still capable of playing in Europe but is Al Ittihad ready to let him go yet? Is a key player for them and will be difficult to find a replacement for him. It will be nice to see Kante play in the premier league again.

Currently al ittihad is starting to try to strengthen their squad next season by trying to bring in Mousa Diaby and Ederson to be able to compete for the title, when al ittihad currently has big ambitions and even in order to get a trophy next season they bring in a top coach (Laurent Blanc) then why do we all think that if al ittihad will want to release Kante to West Ham?
Financially, I think West Ham are still far below Al Ittihad so Al Ittihad have everything they need to keep Kante in the current squad, besides that even though they play in the Arab League, Kante can keep his chances of getting into the French national team and there doesn't seem to be a strong reason for Kante to join West Ham.

Kante has spent his career at Leicester City and Chelsea over the years and of course it will also be a consideration for Kante to reject an offer from West Ham at this time, Because Kante, who is currently considered a legend by Leicester City and Chelsea fans, certainly does not want to be hated by Leicester and Chelsea fans if he joins Westham next season, besides that in my opinion, as a Muslim footballer so far Kante has been quite comfortable playing in a Muslim-majority country, so there is indeed no reason for him to leave Al Ittihad at this time because besides he has gained comfort in playing football, of course he also gets Spiritual comfort in Saudi Arabia today. 

It's a bit difficult, even though with the quality that Kante has shown so far, especially at international level with France, he should still be able to return to Europe next season, but it looks like that won't happen as long as Al-Ittihad still needs him. Maybe Kante should respect his contract first and if one day there is still interest from European teams then he can consider it again.

During that time, Kante must maintain his performance and at Al-Ittihad he must often provide interesting games so that monitoring from European teams will continue. In two years it's the World Cup and if Kante is called up again for the French national team then he has the same chance as now. Well, I think there's no harm in continuing to give the best for Al-Ittihad, especially since his arrival and also several other European players, they haven't provided anything special so far.

Kante still can join French national team because he still has quality, he could maintain his good performance. Even if Kante is getting old and his market value is only around €9m, he has good ability as young players. West Ham can buy him at cheap price, but unfortunately Al Ittihad doesn't want lose Kante. Even West Ham give a big offer, I am sure Al Ittihad will prefer to keep him. Laurent Blanc is the main reason why they want to keep Kante. Kante must be suitable with Laurent Blanc's strategy/tactic. 50 million euros every year is huge amount of money, West Ham will have no allocation to pay that money every year.

Al Ittihad and Laurent Blanc has made the decision, they want to keep him. They already rejected West Ham offer and don't want to accept any offer. If people assume Kante is still possible to leave, it is no problem because they have own assumptions. However, personally I think Kante has already no chance to move anywhere. He still has a contract with Al ijtihad, he must obey it.

Kante has shown his best qualities at the euro and he has silenced his critics with the ability he has shown at the euro. I think it would be good for Kante to return to the Premier League with West Ham, but at the moment there are no strong rumors that Kante will leave Al Ittihad. I think Kante is very comfortable with Al Ittihad and at 33 years old it would be good enough for him to play in an easier league.

However, it goes back to Kante's decision that if he wants to return to Europe, now is the right time for him to accept the offer from West Ham. With various rumors developing, West Ham has entered into negotiations with Al Ittihad and if an agreement is reached then we will see Kante defending West Ham this season.

Hopefully Kante is not really interested in returning to the Premier League, namely to the London club, West Ham. But it is very natural that many European clubs are interested in him again because his performance at the Euros with the French national team is indeed worthy of appreciation. Even though this player is 33 years old, in reality his quality is still not inferior to that of the young players there. Hopefully Al-ittihad can really retain this player. Because it would be quite a shame if Al-ittihad, who had taken great pains to bring in this player, had to let him go again this season. And this could have a domino effect on other European players here. But yes, I will also continue to support Kante whatever his decision. Because it would be very natural if he also wanted to return to playing in a big league like the Premier League. Even though he had to give up a large salary here. But that would really be a shame. because in my heart I still hope that this player will stay at Al-ittihad longer.

Yes that's right. It would be a shame if Kante left Al Ittihad and moved to West Ham. Because at that age, wanting to leave a salary as luxurious as in the Arab League and move to a club that will most likely pay ¼ of his current salary is something that is difficult to understand. Of course West Ham's interest in Kante started from the Euro Cup, Kante even managed to win the best player in a row in two Euro matches, so it's natural that West Ham are interested.

However, this decision is very difficult to digest, maybe Kante is no longer interested in money, he wants to return to playing in Europe's top league, in a more competitive league unlike the Arab League. So whatever Kante's choice, I will support him because he is a player who still deserves to be in the EPL league.
