Saudi Millions! N'Golo Kante buys Belgian football club just days after joining Al-Ittihad

N'Golo Kante has decided to purchase Royal Excelsior Virton, a small club in Belgium as the World Cup winner chooses to invest in a sport that has given him so much over the years.

Kante, who only recently left Chelsea to complete a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad, will replace Flavio Becca at the helm of the Belgian club.

“Driven by his passion for soccer, N’Golo Kanté’s aim is to continue structuring the club with a view to consolidating its foundations, stabilizing the staff and ultimately reviving RE Virton’s tradition of training through its youth academy,” the club said in a statement.

The 31-year-old World Cup winner will reportedly earn as much as €100m over the course of his three-year deal with Al Ittihad.
