During a press conference this Wednesday, Pierre Sage was asked to react to the rumor sending Karim Benzema to OL.
What future for Karim Benzema? At odds with his club Al-Ittihad, the French striker skipped the resumption of training, before being excluded from the mid-season training course by his trainer Marcelo Gallardo. If the 2022 Ballon d’Or announced that he had remained stranded on Mauritius due to the passage of Cyclone Belal, rumors suggest that the former Madrilenian was preparing a return to Europe.
Since then, his name has been associated with several teams from the Old Continent, such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Olympique Lyonnais. Asked at a press conference this Wednesday about the possibility of seeing Nueve return to the Rhône, Pierre Sage preferred to smile.
“It would be a great honor, already, to meet him”
“Talk about Karim Benzema at OL? It’s more than a smile, said the Lyon coach. It would be a great honor, already, to meet him because I have never met him. I don’t even know if he is free because his situation is not entirely clear at his club. There is a story of vacation and problems with his club. Finally, I read what is written, but I ultimately don’t know any more. To be honest, we hear certain noises on social networks, but it is limited to that. There’s not too much. »
