Karim Benzema raised controversy over his future with Al-Ittihad Club, After recent statements in which he confirmed that he does not know what the future holds for him next summer.
The French international wanted to leave last January after the collapse of his relationship with his coach Marcelo Gallardo. However, union officials insisted on its continuation.
Recently, Benzema finally returned to participate with Al-Ittihad. However, it is clear that he does not feel very comfortable, even if he told the media otherwise.
What confirms the matter are Benzema’s latest statements when he was asked about his future: “We’ll see what happens,” he replied. I can’t talk about my future now, “I don’t know what could happen.”
The 36-year-old’s contract still extends until the summer of 2026. The talk from within the Saudi Investment Fund is that there is no intention at all to allow him to leave the Saudi League.
Benzema was close to joining Al-Shabab on loan last January. If his dissatisfaction continues, he may leave the union in the summer. But on loan inside Saudi Arabia.
