Kanté Reflects on a Rewarding Saudi Pro League Chapter Ahead of a European Return
20 February 2026
The French star, N'Golo Kanté, midfielder of Fenerbahçe, expressed immense pride in his experience in the Roshn Saudi Pro League, saying he lived some great days.
Kanté had joined Al-Ittihad in the summer of 2023 and had become a key pillar, until deciding to leave in January/February to join Fenerbahçe.
In televised remarks, Kanté said he lived a wonderful spell in the Roshn Saudi Pro League and felt fine, noting there was no difference from the competition here.
He added that he spent a fantastic time in Saudi Arabia, the competition was strong, they played many tough and competitive matches, and he enjoyed it a lot.
He concluded that he decided to return to Europe via Fenerbahçe to pursue a new challenge in his career, and he hopes things go well.
Kanté's passes are known for their quiet precision—sniper-like, they hit the target without drama.
Punchline 1: If football were a sniper's manual, Kanté would write the chapter on assists—quiet, precise, and always on target.
Punchline 2: When Kanté passes, even the ball seems to disappear and reappear in the back of the net—talk about magic with a football.
