The "World Class Midfielder," who was on the verge of collapse, had a dramatic happy ending with the intervention of FIFA. The destination is Fenerbahce, a prestigious Turkiye led by Jose Mourinho (63).

Fenerbahce officially announced the recruitment of Kante on its official channel on the 4th (Korea Standard Time). "Some stories take time to be completed, but they are never left unfinished," the club said, adding, "Welcome to Fenerbahce, Kante."

This will see Kante make his European appearance again, about three years after leaving Chelsea for Saudi Arabia's RT Hard in June 2023.

According to local media, Kante's contract is due in June 2028. Earlier, transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said, "Kante only wanted Fenerbahce. "I will organize my contract with RT Hard and wear Fenerbahce uniforms," he said, shouting his own "Here we go" only when the transfer is confirmed.

It's a twist that's hard to imagine just a day ago. Initially, Kante's move seemed to come to nothing due to RT Hard's administrative non-cooperation. On the 3rd, Fenerbahce said, "The opposing club entered the transfer management system (TMS) information incorrectly and did not revise it within the transfer market deadline."

But Fenerbahce and Kante did not give up. He immediately explained the situation to FIFA and asked for approval for the transfer. In the end, FIFA helped Fenerbahce open the door to the closed transfer again. Fenerbahce said, "It was a process of blood, sweat and tears. But we don't give up beforehand," he said.

Meanwhile, Kante received worldwide attention by playing a miraculous leading role in Leicester City's victory in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2015-2016 season. After that, he moved to prestigious Chelsea and played 269 games in seven seasons, winning numerous trophies including the UEFA Champions League (UCL), the Europa League (UEL), and the English Football Association (FA Cup). He also dominated the French national team as the world's best defensive midfielder in name and reality, leading the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Even after entering Saudi Arabia, he showed off his rusty skills and steadily joined the French national team. Determined to burn his last years in Europe, Kante joined hands with Fenerbahce, who had a persistent courtship.
