Karim Benzema Reportedly Unhappy at Al-Ittihad, Offers Himself to Real Madrid
Former Manchester United Players Divided on Potential Transfer, While Real Madrid Thrives Without Him
- Karim Benzema, former Real Madrid star now playing for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, has reportedly offered himself to his former club amid rumors of his unhappiness and pay issues in Saudi Arabia.
- Despite his impressive performance at Al-Ittihad, scoring 12 goals and five assists in 20 games, Benzema is reportedly finding it difficult to receive his substantial salary in Saudi Arabia.
- Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole has urged his club to sign Benzema, while former defender Paul Parker has warned against such a move, calling it a 'step backward' and a 'PR signing'.
- Benzema's potential return to Real Madrid is uncertain, with the club currently doing well without him, thanks to the performance of attacking midfielder Jude Bellingham.
- Benzema's departure from Real Madrid last summer was a surprise, and his return, if it happens, could be just as unexpected, given his age and the financial complications involved.
