Like André-Pierre Gignac in 2021, Karim Benzema could be tempted by a return to the Blues, for an Olympic break.
He wrote it on his social networks a few days after the end of the 2022 World Cup, Karim Benzema has finished his adventure with the France team. If he perhaps no longer wants to play for Didier Deschamps' A, what would happen if the Al-Ittihad striker received a phone call from a certain Thierry Henry? Some observers have asked the question.
Coach of the Espoirs, Thierry Henry will be at the head of the French selection which will participate in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Faced with the refusal of several clubs to release their French internationals, the coach could be tempted to turn to less obvious choices. And Karim Benzema could well be a solution. Questioned on the subject Monday at a press conference, Didier Deschamps had also referred the journalists to his counterpart at the Bleuets.
“We already have to ask ourselves the question”
For Hugo Guillemet, the question exists and must be asked to Thierry Henry. But the journalist from The Team still has doubts about the desire of the 2022 Ballon d'Or to put on the rooster jersey again. “ We must already ask ourselves the question about the level at which it is evolving today. Does that allow him to apply for Thierry Henry’s selection? Then, does he want to come back during preparation, with younger players, with the France team jersey? But why not. For the next press conference, that might be a good question. »
The hypothesis still seems very foggy and distant, but if he were contacted by Thierry Henry, Karim Benzema could be seduced by the idea of participating in the Olympics, as André-Pierre Gignac and Florian Thauvin had agreed to do. during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19).
