Benzema, an incredible comeback is confirmed!

Sidelined after skipping the resumption of training with his club, Al-Ittihad, Karim Benzema would like to return to Europe as a player.

This time, the divorce between Al-Ittihad and Karim Benzema seems to have been completed. Landing last summer in Saudi Arabia like a rock star, the French striker saw his relationship with his team’s supporters deteriorate over time, with him being criticized for his lack of investment. And the situation is not likely to get better…

Madrid media Marca tells us that the 2022 Ballon d’Or did not show up for the resumption of his club’s training, without any prior authorization. From then on, his coach Marcelo Gallardo decided purely and simply the 2022 Ballon d’Or of the preparation course for the resumption scheduled for Sunday in Dubai.

Towards a return to Europe this winter?

An absence which inevitably raises questions around the future of the former Real Madrid scorer. According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, transfer window specialist, “ Karim Benzema would like to leave Al-Ittihad to return to play in European football.”

In recent days, the name of the 36-year-old striker has notably been associated with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, where Nasser Al-Khelaïfi himself is said to have “looked into the possibility of a six-month loan”. Yes, but the idea would not be unanimously accepted within the Parisian board.
