N’Golo Kanté remains on the sidelines.
According to an official statement from Fenerbahçe, the transfer with Al-Ittihad could not be completed, despite an agreement being reached and medical examinations being approved. All documents were submitted on time, but administrative errors on the Saudi side reportedly derailed the operation.
The Istanbul club specified that Al-Ittihad had incorrectly entered certain information into FIFA’s system (TMS), preventing the transfer from being finalized within the deadline. Fenerbahçe requested an extension and took all necessary steps with FIFA, but to no avail.
Fenerbahçe concluded its statement by expressing its disappointment. Another consequence of this administrative delay: Youssef En-Nesyri will not be making the move in the opposite direction. Unfortunate.
