N’Golo Kanté could make his return to Ligue 1 next season. Potentially in the ranks of OM.
“ You never know… »Last weekend as part of an interview with Téléfoot, N’Golo Kanté did not rule out the idea a return to Ligue 1 next summer. Eleven years after his departure from Caen for Leicester. “ We’ll see what happens next, but what we want is to make the most of the years of football that are ahead of me. And I hope it will be a complete year on all levels. »
It was enough to dream of a new 2018 world champion in the French elite, after the returns to the fold of Olivier Giroud, Paul Pogba and Florian Thauvin during the previous off-season. Once announced in negotiations with Paris FC a few months ago, N’Golo Kanté demonstrated these days in the French team that he still had the level to reach the top.
Obviously, such an observation fuels the rumor. And some see it as a serious call for the leading roles in the championship. “ Kanté in L1, he answers you never know. Apart from PSG he plays everywhere », Estimates on the airwaves of RMC a Walid Acherchour always deduced by the profile and the slaughter of the 34-year-old midfielder.
“You put him in front of the defense, you solve a lot of problems”
In the eyes of the columnist and sports commentator, one club in particular would be perfect to welcome the former Chelsea star: OM. “ He plays in Marseille every day! In addition, it is a profile that is lacking. You put him in front of the defense, you solve a lot of problems. » Especially since the person concerned is rarely injured – apart from a major injury to his hamstrings which kept him away from the field for almost six months during the first part of the 2022-2023 season with the Blues.
“ You can play Hojbjerg in a 4-3-3, the famous dog in front of the defense, who is able to block and bring the first raise simple and coherent enough to allow Hojbjerg or Vermeeren or another player like Gomes to have more freedomWalid Acherchour projects. Kanté totally fits into that. Everyone in the community says that he will never return to the Paris region so I will be surprised to see him at the PFC. »
