In comments relayed by The Evening Team during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, Karim Benzema denied any desire to leave. “This is completely false!” The media no longer knows what to invent. The bigger the better”, explained the Al-Ittihad player. Still, currently, he continues to train on the sidelines of the group, alone in Jeddah. And Marcelo Gallardo will not do him any favors, just like many of his club’s supporters who are not satisfied with his level of performance since his arrival last summer.
The media are therefore still and always convinced that KB9 is about to leave. Among the options that had been mentioned was that of a return to Olympique Lyonnais, also denied, but this time by his entourage. But where could Benzema bounce back? For obvious financial reasons, the most likely path seems to lead to the Premier League.
Financial reasons
But even there, it looks complicated… As explained The Sun, Manchester United have already said no to a possible signing of Karim Benzema. The media explains that currently, an arrival of the French star would be far too costly for the club’s finances from a salary point of view, while the club is paying close attention to its payroll and wants to continue to stay in the highlights of financial fair play in the Premier League.
The newspaper specifies that Manchester United did not even start negotiations with the player’s entourage before making this decision, its leaders being aware that the demands would be too high and unreasonable. We can therefore imagine that other clubs which could potentially be attractive to the attacker will have the same type of thinking. Suffice it to say that if Benzema really wants to leave Al-Ittihad in the very near future, he risks having to make big sacrifices financially…
