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.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
