Although the trend within Al-Ittihad was to refuse to sell N’Golo Kante, the “The Athletic” network confirms that the club’s officials may open up to the idea in one case only.
In recent hours, there has been a lot of news about West Ham’s desire to sign Kante as manager Julen Lopetegui looks for a strong replacement in midfield for the departed Kalvin Phillips.
According to the English network, West Ham’s offer was verbal and worth just £15 million.
Al-Ittihad’s management indirectly expressed their readiness to negotiate only if the offer value is increased to £25 million at least.
It is not known what the position of the London club is and whether it will double its offer to its Saudi counterpart, although there is another crisis in Kante’s very high salary at Al-Ittihad.
The French star earns around £200,000 a week, and of course he will have to cut a lot from this amount if he wants to return to the Premier League again.
