A group from the Middle Eastern club was in London on Tuesday night to discuss the details of a two-year contract worth Ł86 million per season, as previously reported by Mail Sport.
After negotiations for a new contract with Chelsea stagnated in March, Kante is now expected to quit the team when his current contract expires at the end of the month.
After completing a medical exam in London, the Frenchman reached a personal agreement with the Saudi Arabian side.
He will be joining Karim Benzema, who joined Al-Ittihad after leaving Real Madrid and signed a three-year contract worth approximately Ł258 million with the Saudi champions on Tuesday evening.
According to reports, his pay includes image rights, business deals, and an investment portfolio.
The major provisions of the agreement have been signed, but a few last-minute paperwork requirements must be satisfied before the transaction can be made public.
Chelsea, on the other hand, wants a younger roster and is in talks with Brighton about a transfer for Moises Caicedo, who is valued at Ł80 million.
The Saudi Arabian league is starting a significant hiring drive in Europe.
They have made proposals for players like Lionel Messi, Serge Busquets, Paul Pogba, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, and Hugo Lloris of Tottenham as well as Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema.
But according to reports, Messi has chosen Inter Miami of the Major League Soccer over a transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Kante initially signed with the Blues in 2016, and since then, he has won back-to-back Premier League championships with two separate clubs, having done so with Leicester in 2015–16.
He subsequently had a significant impact on Chelsea's Champions League victory in the 2020–21 campaign.
Since Todd Boehly took over last summer, the club has spent a lot of money on transfers—nearly Ł600 million—and as a result, its roster has grown by about 30 players.
As a result, a number of current talents, such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Edouard Mendy, Mateo Kovacic, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Cesar Azpilicueta, are expected to depart.
