Each day that passes brings new information into the Karim Benzema file. Since he reappeared with his club Al-Ittihad after a three-week disappearance, the Frenchman has been in the crosshairs of his management, but also the center of all the attention of the specialized media.

The media explains that the 2022 Ballon d’Or would feel ” under pressure », According to a source close to the Saudi club. Would a move to another Saudi Pro League club be the solution? No according to this famous mysterious source.

Karim Benzema’s entourage was contacted, but did not wish to comment on the subject. The pressure is therefore too great for the former Real Madrid man who has been training alone since his return. Away from the group, not selected by its coach for the training course which is currently taking place in the United Arab Emirates, and awaiting a return from its leaders, “KB9” hopes that the situation will quickly settle down for him.
Like that of Jordan Henderson who returned to Europe six months after leaving Liverpool for the Saudi Pro League, Karim Benzema’s Saudi adventure has all the makings of a fiasco. It remains to be seen whether Al-Ittihad will agree to let him go. And if so, which club will be able to accommodate it.
