Speculation around Ngolo Kante’s future has intensified after several European outlets reported that Paris Saint Germain are exploring the possibility of bringing the French midfielder back from Saudi Arabia.

Kante who joined Al Ittihad last year has impressed with his form in the Saudi Pro League and recently delivered standout performance for France in their 4-0 win over Ukraine in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers.

"We will see what happens next"

Speaking to TELEFOOT, the former Chelsea star made it clear that his priority remains completing the season with Al Ittihad but he stopped short of dismissing a potential return to French football.

"We are focused on the season with Al Ittihad. We will see what happens after that. What I want is to make the most of the years of football that are still ahead of me"

When asked specifically about a move back to Ligue 1 including rumors linking him to Paris FC or sensational switch to PSG — Kante left the door open:

“I hope to live full football year and who knows”
