Al-Ittihad Club N’Golo Kanté Ready to Join Chelsea — But Only If Three Serious Conditions Are Met
Bringing N’Golo Kante back to Chelsea on loan for the rest of the season, with his current club covering part of his wages, seems like an absolute no-brainer, right? The real question is whether Chelsea are actually interested. If they are, they should just make it happen.
Sure, Kante is nearly 35, but he’s still got that incredible engine that keeps him running all game long. He clearly retains the quality, tenacity, pace, and physical presence required to thrive in the Premier League.
So where are these rumors even coming from?
Reports suggest that former Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante might be available on loan this month, with Fenerbahce apparently showing interest.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean Chelsea are actively pursuing him or even having conversations about a reunion. It appears to be just a passing mention among potential midfield options the club could consider if they need reinforcements. There’s nothing concrete to suggest Chelsea are seriously thinking about Kante right now—though they probably should be.
Everyone knows Kante still has what it takes. After all, he was called up to the French national team as recently as November, proving he can still perform at the highest level.
He’s intimately familiar with Chelsea and genuinely loves the club. He knows the Premier League inside out, would still have connections with some current players, and just imagine him playing alongside Moises Caicedo—his successor in that midfield role! What opposition would get past that duo? If one misses a tackle, the other won’t.
For a club looking to reconnect with its supporters, this would be an easy win. Kante brings crucial experience and leads by example. He could mentor the younger players and always gives absolutely everything on the pitch.
If it’s a straightforward loan with shared wages, and assuming Kante would want to return (which seems almost certain), this really is a no-brainer.
But again, there’s currently no real evidence that Chelsea are actually considering a move for Kante.
