N’Golo Kanté is being offered a salary that could reach €100m (£86.2m) a year to join a club in Saudi Arabia. The midfielder’s Chelsea contract expires this month and emissaries from Saudi Arabia are in London to present their proposal.
Kanté is wanted by Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr, two of four Saudi clubs in which the country’s sovereign wealth fund, which owns Newcastle, took 75% stakes on Monday. His salary would include image rights and commercial deals.
