Announced upon departure, Karim Benzema made it known, via his entourage, that he had not planned to leave Saudi Arabia and Al-Ittihad this winter despite his complicated relations with the SPL club. Since then, the interested clubs have withdrawn from the file. Recently, Manchester United threw in the towel and The Athletic tells us that a second Premier League leader has also withdrawn. It’s Chelsea. The English media assures that the Blues no longer want this costly transfer (especially in terms of salary) and they are now prioritizing younger talents.

That said, a change of club is still not out of the question for the 36-year-old French striker. According to the latest information from The Team, another Saudi formation would be willing to welcome him. A training based in Riyadh, such as Al-Hilal or Al-Nassr. Discussions are reportedly underway. To be continued.
