Is Karim Benzema’s future still being written at Al-Ittihad? Under contract until next June with the club based in Jeddah, the French international striker (38 years old) has not yet extended his contract with the current seventh in the Saudi Pro League. Enough to give rise to certain rumors of departure, which does not seem to worry its leaders too much.
Confidence is indeed essential among the Yellow and Black.
“He wants to continue, he wants to stay in Saudi Arabia and at Al-Ittihad. He saw that it was a serious project with good players, and he wants to play for several more years. I hope that will be the case »sports director Ramon Planes recently told ABC media.
“Karim Benzema would change Juventus”
If the trend is therefore to see him return to Al-Ittihad, some would welcome him. This is particularly the case of Khéphren Thuram who, after Juventus’ victory against Naples (3-0) on Sunday in Serie A, made a big appeal to “KB9”. “He is happy in Saudi Arabia but if he wants to come, we would be delighted”he blurted out on DAZN.
“Football is evolving. Today, the great players reach their forties. Benzema is 38 years old but he is intelligent, he knows how to score goals and he won a Ballon d’Or (in 2022)added the bianconero midfielder.
He would make the difference at Juventus, in Serie A and in all international competitions. Benzema would change Juventus. »
