According to Mehr’s reporter, the situation between Ittihad and Karim Benzema is still tense and he is training separately from the team. According to Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano, Saudi League officials want Benzema to be transferred to another Saudi team if he leaves Al Ittihad to stay in the professional league of this country.
Of course, it is possible for Benzema to return to Europe, but in this case, he will face a sharp reduction in wages.
But this former Real Madrid star has a serious client from French football among the European teams. Karim Benzema started his professional football from “Lyon” in France and it seems that this team is willing to return Benzema to the French league again. In addition to playing in Lyon’s youth team, Benzema played in this team from 2004 to 2009 and then joined Real Madrid.
