Football Transfer Updates: Kante moves to Saudi Arabia and other transfer rumors

N’Golo Kante Set to Move to Saudi Arabia

The football transfer market has started to heat up with various big-money moves being made. In recent news, N’Golo Kante, the Chelsea midfielder, is close to finalizing a move to Saudi Arabian outfit, Al Ittihad. Kante would be a free agent when his contract with Chelsea expires this month, and the Al-Ittihad delegation was in London yesterday to go over the terms of the deal. According to reports, Kante will receive around £86 million per year, with a two-year contract worth £172 million in total, which will keep him associated with the club until 2025. Although the talks regarding a new contract with Chelsea had stalled since March, Kante‘s move to Al-Ittihad is a significant development for the player and the football world.

Lionel Messi‘s Future Uncertain as American League Seeks Signature

The future of the Argentine superstar, Lionel Messi, is yet to be determined. After leaving Paris Saint-Germain, Messi is left to decide between David Beckham’s Inter Miami or a return to Barcelona. According to a report, Major League Soccer (MLS) and Inter Miami are working towards a deal to get the World Cup winner’s signature. There is growing hope that Messi could make the move to MLS since his decision is now down to either Inter Miami or a return to Barcelona, as per a source. The American league has laid “everything on the table” to get Messi‘s signature, including a potential revenue deal with Apple. It remains to be seen where Messi will eventually end up.

Liverpool Close to Signing Alexis Mac Allister

The Merseyside club is reportedly on the verge of signing Brighton midfielder, Alexis Mac Allister. Although Mac Allister was initially supposed to cost Liverpool £60 million, a clause in the midfielder’s contract will see him move to Liverpool for an agreeable price of £35 million. The team has already completed his medical. Manager Jurgen Klopp had been eyeing the World Cup winner for the summer transfer. Mac Allister’s move will undoubtedly improve Liverpool’s midfield options as they look to bounce back from a disappointing last season.

Chelsea Interested in Moises Caicedo

As rumors of N’Golo Kante‘s move continue to emerge, Chelsea is reportedly interested in Brighton’s Moises Caicedo. The Blues’ move for Sporting Lisbon’s Manuel Ugarte hit a buffer. However, the club is now looking into a potential move for the £80 million-rated Brighton midfielder. A possible makeweight for the deal could be defender Levi Colwill, whom Brighton has already offered £30 million for. Chelsea is reluctant to sell the young player but could explore other options to sweeten the pot for the Caicedo deal. It will be interesting to see how this potential transfer develops.
