There were few serious rumours about his exit but as we have ended transfer window now things are settled because Al Ittihad were not allowing his exit from Saudi League with they were happy if he is going to join any other Saudi club but at the end all things solved, and now he is going to stay in Saudi League for the rest of this season with after the end of this season we will have about his future which is most likely going to end at Lyon because now they are also trying to survive in this season and then having him back to France which will be good for them even still all is not clear, but most chances are indicating about this with Chelsea will be other option Arsenal is not going to have anything about this.
Karim Benzema behaviour were not good with coach and few others complaints about few things but as things are solved hopefully he will be able to start again for his club as we will have start of the second half of the Saudi League in coming days.
That right, everything is over and Benzema will still stay in Saudi football with Al-Ittihad and of course Al-Ittihad will continue to defend Benzema until he really can't play very well.
So far, Benzema is not playing like he used to when he was with Real Madrid, but at least while playing with Al-Ittihad he is still the main player, even though he made mistakes which resulted in suspension.
Maybe in the future he will really go but not necessarily play with an English team like Arsenal or Chelsea.
If you look at Benzema performance, I sure he will never be able to play well and can improve if he plays in the Premier League.
In comparison, Kane, who previously played with Tottenham, also did not perform very well because the Premier League has various strong team with great young players in them.
But when he moved to Bayern Munich he performed well and it was clear that the Premier League was not the right league for those older players.
I would be more justified if Benzema played with the French team and this would allow Benzema to develop there.
