It looks like Paris FC will not be signing N`Golo Kante from AL Ittihad after all. The midfielder had been heavily linked throughout the window, but the deal is now dead in the water. Reasons for the collapse remain unclear, though it marks a blow to Paris FC's plans to bolster their squad. The proposed transfer is no longer on the table, and with no competing interest, the player is expected to stay where he is. In season 25/26, Paris FC are conceding 2.17 goals per game (13 in 6 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. N`Golo Kante would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. AL Ittihad continue to be linked with Hugo Larsson, Pedro Henrique Silva dos Santos and Bruno Fernandes while Paris FC are also rumoured to be tracking Jonathan Ikone, Jota and Hamari Traore.
