While he is currently immobilized due to injury, Karim Benzema made a rather special request to his management.
Karim Benzema lives like a true king in Saudi Arabia. And it’s not just a simple expression. Whatever he wants, he gets from his leaders. The proof was provided this Friday by the daily L’Equipe in a report.
Benzema contacted Saudi authorities
The former Madrid player does not hesitate to ask for privileges that his other Al-Ittihad teammates do not have. Even when he is out of action due to injury, he ensures that his every request is met.
His demands are numerous and the last one he made to the authorities is to be able to benefit from a state-of-the-art recovery machine. Even if he no longer plays at the highest level in the world, he makes sure to have the same working tools as his former teammates at Real. And of course we refuse nothing to the French diva.
Benzema has the Saudi leaders at his mercy.
The Frenchman got Nuno’s skin
Among the other demands issued by KB9 since its arrival in Saudi Arabia is the dismissal of Nuno Espirito Santo. The latter refused to give him the captain’s armband, and he ended up “having his skin”. The Portuguese was sacked in favor of the Argentinian Marcelo Gallardo.
Benzema also asked to be offered the best amenities for his family. The former Lyonnais also demanded that his children be able to be educated in a private British school in Jeddah. On this point, and in view of the sacrifices he made in joining the Gulf, the former French international was right to be demanding.
