He would sign as a free agent with Al Ittihad at the start of the 2023/24 season and was an ever-present throughout the campaign, and it was this reliability that led to Didier Deschamps naming him in his French squad for the 2024 UEFA European Championship.
Kante was one of the best performers for Les Bleus at the continental showpiece as they made it to the tournament's semi-finals, and these displays have seemingly attracted the interest of major clubs in Europe.

The People's Club's refusal to let Kante go led to West Ham signing Argentine Guido Rodriguez, and it seems Atleti and the Blaugrana will have to look for alternative targets as well as Ittihad want to want compete for the league once again after a disappointing title defence last campaign.
