In great difficulty at Al-Ittihad, Karim Benzema has been announced in Ligue 1 in recent hours.

The rumor had the effect of a small bomb on Monday, when RMC Sport announced that Olympique Lyonnais was studying a potential return of Karim Benzema. Much criticized in Saudi Arabia, the French striker from Al-Ittihad fuels the debates during this winter transfer window. For Daniel Riolo, the chances of seeing Benzema return to Ligue 1 are almost zero.

The RMC journalist quickly put an end to the hypothesis of a comeback in Lyon, before being questioned in After Foot about the possibility of seeing the Real Madrid legend join… Paris Saint-Germain. “ Benzema to PSG? We’ve already done the thing of bringing in the old guys and everything, and now we’re going to bring in a guy who plays in Saudi Arabia? » said Riolo, very circumspect.

“Benzema will neither go to Lyon nor to PSG”

If you give me the Benzema from two years ago I’m willing, but the one from today, I don’t know where he is, so I’m not taking the risk, continued Daniel Riolo. It will cost a lot of money for the transfer and the salary. But he will neither go to Lyon nor to PSG“, concluded the journalist.

In addition to Lyon and PSG, Benzema’s name has also been circulated in England. Manchester United or even Chelsea would monitor the situation of the 2022 Ballon d’Or.
