The French striker denied asking to leave just six months after his arrival.

Former Real Madrid star Karim Benzema has denied having asked to leave Al-Ittihad, as a source from the Saudi club told AFP on Tuesday. The player is currently training away from the group after arriving late for the restart.

Benzema, the big denial

Al-Ittihad would have offered a loan to another team in the Saudi championship to the former Lyonnais “unable to give his best to Al-Ittihad because of the pressure”, according to AFP. But the person concerned flatly denies this assertion. “This is totally false!” “, Benzema told L’Equipe in a laconic press release. “ The media no longer knows what to invent. The bigger the better. »

The Frenchman is, as a reminder, currently punished by his club for not showing up for training on the scheduled date for the resumption. He also trains alone in his training facilities after being heavily criticized by the local media. A return to OL was even insisted on.
