According to leading sports media outlet The Athletic, Premier League team
West Ham United
A verbal offer worth £15 million was made on Thursday to bring in Saudi Arabian club
Jeddah (Saudi Arabia)
sports star
Canter (city in England)
.. However, the offer did not impress Jeddah United, who decisively rejected West Ham United's offer.
West Ham United have been interested in Kante for a long time and they have been looking for an opportunity to bring the powerhouse player to the London Stadium. However, Jeddah United have no desire to sell Kante, who they see as an integral part of the team and plays a vital role in the Saudi League.
It is understood that Jeddah United's valuation of Kante is much higher than West Ham United's bid, and they have said that they will only begin to consider whether to release Kante if the offer exceeds £25 million. This shows that Jeddah United has a clear position on the market value of Kante, and is not willing to give up the team's core players easily.
The top brass of both Jeddah United and the Saudi League have praised Kante, expressing their affection for him on several occasions and seeing him as a key figure in the team's future plans. Kante's excellent form in the recently concluded Europa League has further boosted his appeal in the transfer market.
Despite West Ham United's passionate pursuit of Kante, they now face a hefty price barrier. Unless West Ham United are willing to significantly increase their offer, they will struggle to convince Jeddah United to release him. With the ever-changing transfer market, Kante's future remains uncertain, but what is certain is that Jeddah United will do their best to retain this valuable asset.
