Benzema, a nasty trick played at Real Madrid?

Karim Benzema would privately try to convince one of the Real Madrid locker room executives to join him in Saudi Arabia.

After fourteen years in Madrid, Karim Benzema decided, to everyone’s surprise, to accept the golden bridge offered to him by Saudi Arabia, where he joined the Al-Ittihad club. But since then, many figures in world football have followed him, like his compatriot N’Golo KantĂ© who now plays alongside him.

And Karim Benzema would like to convince another player he knows well. According to information fromEl Chiringuito, the French striker is currently pushing his ex-teammate at Real Madrid, Nacho, for the latter to join him in his team.

Still according to the Spanish media, Al-Ittihad is closely monitoring the situation of the 33-year-old defender, who is at the end of his contract on June 30. The reigning Saudi Arabian champions could even take action this winter. It remains to be seen what the player, who is regularly used by Carlo Ancelotti, thinks.
