N’Golo Kante Linked with Surprise Move to Barcelona
N’Golo Kante, the French international currently playing in Saudi Arabia, is reportedly on the verge of making a surprising return to European football with a move to Barcelona.
Under the guidance of their new manager, Hansi Flick, who replaced Xavi at the end of the season, Barcelona is actively pursuing several high-profile targets this summer. Flick’s objective is to reinforce the squad as the Catalan club aims to compete fiercely across all competitions.
Barcelona’s search for a new midfield anchor to replace Sergio Busquets has led them to consider various options. Despite Oriol Romeu’s efforts, he has not met the club’s expectations, prompting Barcelona to explore other potential signings.
The club has looked at top names like Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich and Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
However, acquiring these players has proven to be quite challenging. This situation has pushed Barcelona to explore alternative options, with Kante emerging as a viable candidate.
Kante, who joined Al-Ittihad from Chelsea last summer in a high-profile transfer, has demonstrated through his performances at Euro 2024 that he still possesses significant quality and influence on the field.
At 33 years old, Kante is reportedly open to a return to European football, making him an appealing option for Barcelona as they aim to bolster their midfield and mount a strong challenge on multiple fronts.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
