Kanté and En-Nesyri Deals Collapse as FIFA Rejects Appeals from Fenerbahçe and Al Ittihad

Two high-profile transfer moves have officially fallen apart after FIFA rejected late appeals from Fenerbahçe and Al Ittihad, confirming that N’Golo Kanté will not join Fenerbahçe and Youssef En-Nesyri will not move to Al Ittihad.

According to sources, both clubs believed they had reached verbal agreements with the players and were preparing to finalize the transfers. However, the deals hit a major obstacle when required documents were not submitted correctly or on time—an administrative lapse that proved fatal.

FIFA reviewed emergency appeals from both sides but ultimately ruled that the transfers could not be validated, as the agreements had not progressed to the “here we go” stage—Fabrizio Romano’s famous signal for fully completed deals.

The rejected appeals mean:

  • Kanté remains with Al Ittihad, despite Fenerbahçe’s push to secure his signature before the deadline.
  • En-Nesyri stays at Sevilla, with Al Ittihad forced to abandon their pursuit.

The collapse of both deals comes as a major setback for the clubs involved, each hoping to strengthen key positions during the window. It also raises questions about internal coordination and administrative oversight, given that both negotiations reportedly reached advanced stages.

With the transfer window now closed, Fenerbahçe and Al Ittihad must turn to their current squads as they navigate the rest of the season without their intended reinforcements.

BREAKING: FG Approves 40% Pay Rise —Non-Academic Staff Left Out

Image
Nigeria’s university system has been thrown into fresh debate following confirmation that the Federal Government’s newly approved 40% salary increase applies strictly to lecturers, leaving non-academic university workers completely excluded from the landmark deal. The historic agreement, signed between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), ends a 16-year renegotiation stalemate and delivers a major financial boost to academic staff alone — professors, readers, senior lecturers, and other teaching personnel in federal universities. ZANCEN YAU 247 has gathered that , according  to official details of the agreement, the 40% increment is tied to the Consolidated University Academic Staff Salary Structure (CONUASS) and enhanced academic-specific allowances, particularly the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance (CATA) meant for research, publications, conferences, and teaching support.     ZANCEN YAU 247    has l...

Nigeria’s Ivory Towers in Ruins: An Investigative Look at the Dilapidated State of Nigerian Universities

Image
Across the country, Nigeria’s public universities — once proud centres of academic excellence — now tell a story of chronic neglect, crumbling infrastructure, and systemic failure.  Despite repeated government promises, reforms, and intervention funds, the reality on the ground remains stark: lecture halls are dilapidated, hostels overcrowded or unsafe, laboratories obsolete, and academic activity repeatedly disrupted by strikes and funding shortfalls. A Legacy Fading: What We Saw in the Country’s Premier Institutions At the University of Ibadan (UI), Nigeria’s oldest university and once a symbol of academic strength, the decay is unmistakable. Cracked walls, leaking roofs, and peeling paint scar once-majestic buildings, even iconic landmarks such as Trenchard Hall. Frequent power outages force reliance on noisy, polluting generators. Road networks within the campus are potholed, and water scarcity undermines hygiene.  “We are trying to provide a world-class educat...

BREAKING: US Finally Withdraws from WHO

Image
The United States has formally withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO), a move that strips the UN health agency of one of its largest financial contributors and marks a major shift in global health diplomacy. The withdrawal follows an executive order signed a year ago by US President Donald Trump, who repeatedly accused the WHO of being overly “China-centric” in its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision  ZANCEN YAU24  understood has now taken full effect, confirming the US exit from the global health body. In a statement, the US Department of Health and Human Services said the withdrawal was based on what it described as the WHO’s “mishandling” of the Covid-19 crisis, its failure to implement meaningful reforms, and what it called undue political influence from member states. ZANCEN YAU24 learned that the the World Health Organization has strongly rejected the allegations. WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus described the US dec...
