Karim Benzema recently informed Al Ittihad management his desire to leave and return to Europe. For this has been kicked out of the team and now trains alone.
Immediately, Manchester United and Arsenal were interested in the French star, but the high financial demands they seem prohibitiveeven for the richest club.
Among the potential “suitors” is Lyon wants to bring her own “child” back to France. Although he doesn’t have the financial resources to do it, he bets on the excellent relations he has with him, but also to the proven love of Benzema for the club.

The seven-time Ligue 1 champions are going through their worst season in history, faltering competitively and they are now in 16th place in the standings. This leads to the playoffs and to avoid it, they would like the contribution of the top French striker.
Soon there will be discussions of Benzema with people in the Saudi Pro League, who want him to stay in the Middle East, even provided he is transferred to another team in the league!
