Kante lifted the Premier League trophy, he got his hands on more silverware while at Stamford Bridge, winning the Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup.
Kante has been one of the best midfielders in England for almost a decade but he was unable to make as much of an impact last season, with injuries limiting him to just seven league appearances.
With his Chelsea contract set to expire this summer, Kante has been weighing up his options for several months amid interest from Barcelona and Arsenal.
But Saudi side Al Ittihad have now made the World Cup winner an offer too good to refuse, preparing a two-year contract worth around £86m a year.
It was gathered that Kante is close to agreeing terms with Al Ittihad and is set to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in the Saudi league.
Chelsea were in talks with Kante over a contract extension but conversations stalled last month.
