That club must be very adamant then, lol! A player has said he wants to leave why not look for the nearest ways to solve the situation for the both sides and parties.
They should respect the player and allow him leave. They will learn the hard way because, you cannot do nothing to hold down a player that wants to leave the club.
Marcus Rashford all grown but he's football ain't at a top level, he better sits up so he could be selected for the upcoming Euro's Competition.
I did a little research after you said that and saw the last day of the transfer window as February 1. Thank you for the information. I thought it like near mid February.
In this case Benzema is staying until the end of the season. Because I have seen that the transfer window is closed for many top European league now. But at the end of the season it is really difficult for Al Ittihad to keep him at the team. I hope Benzema can manage to go to a team he would like. It would be lovely to see him in Europe again.
Well you say it is difficult to keep him, but who knows whether Al-Ittihad is really that interested in keeping him? He is doing alright, but it is not a special performance or anything that Al-Ittihad could not replace if Benzema decides to leave the club. I think they don't have to be concerned about his future plans. If he leaves, they could just replace him with an equally strong player from Europe for less money I think. He isn't one of the best players in the world anymore. Those times are over for him.
