Nouari Khairi, the former image rights agent of N’Golo Kante has accused the player of owing him more than £3m

N’Golo Kante’s ex-agent Nouari Khairi claims Chelsea star owes him over £3m as a bitter legal battle over image rights rumbles on


The Chelsea midfielder accused Nuoari Khiari of “breach of trust” and “illegal exercise of the profession of sports agent” last November after the partners went their separate ways.

N’golo Kante is said to have been unhappy with his formal partner’s services and offered him £125,000 – and later £250,000 – in a total sum amounting to £400,000 to part ways.


Nouari Khiari refused to accept the said amount stating that he deserves more than that amount referring to the deal signed with Adidas.

Kante later stated that his ex-agent “exerted pressure to obtain more money”.

Nouari Khiari has now told L’Equipe: “A conciliation was started but, very quickly, I understood that I was taken for a Charlot [joker].

“Last November, N’Golo signed a new contract with Adidas who wanted to make a deal, as with Paul Pogba.

“This is a five-year contract for €15million (£12.5m). My fees should have been €3.75m (£3.1m).

“When I met N’Golo Kante’s lawyer, Nadia Zrari, I was offered €50,000 (£41,600) to end my business provider contract.

“I was shocked. I was then offered €150,000 (£125,000) then €300,000 (£250,000).

“I refused because he owed me ten times more. Either they don’t owe me anything or I get paid what I am owed.
