N'Golo Kante could become the first beneficiary of Chelsea owner Todd Boehly's relationship with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
PIF, who play a prominent role at Newcastle United after a 2021 takeover, also have stakes in a number of Saudi Pro League clubs. They are majority owners of Cristiano Ronaldo's side Al-Nassr, as well as three other big-hitters, after a deal was announced in early June.
They also have a strong relationship with Clearlake Capital, part of the Boehly-led group which took ownership of Chelsea in the lead-up to the 2022-23 season. This, according to fresh reports, could prompt some significant summer transfer deals.
