Not just Kanté, three Chelsea FC players packing their bags for Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabian soccer is looking to make another splash. The Arab team has established itself in a big way and is now close to signing more big-name stars after signing Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante. The three Chelsea FC players have already sealed their futures in the Arab league.

Saudi Arabia is taking advantage of Chelsea's momentum to nurture its league with renowned players. After a disappointing 2022/23 season, finishing 12th in the Premier League, a surplus of players and the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino on the bench, Chelsea began a process of change that is being exploited by Saudi clubs. There, at least three players are expected to fly to Arabian territory.

They are Hakim Ziyech, Kalidou Koulibaly and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. The Senegalese goalkeeper has agreed personal terms with Al-Ahli until 2026, so the details between clubs remain to be finalized. On the other hand, Ziyech is about to sign for Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr with two years remaining on his contract.

Will the departure of these elements from Chelsea FC be confirmed?

To close the remaining deals, emissaries from the Saudi government are in London to speed up negotiations. In addition, there were approaches and an offer for Romelu Lukaku but he rejected it. As reported by Footmercato journalist Santi Aouna and reported by Fabrizio Romano, Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr are advancing in talks to bring Hakim Ziyech to the Saudi Arabian side.
