Arriving many top players on the several Saudi Arabia clubs have expected with more compete Saudi Pro League but currently Al Hilal keep on the top position without any team can beat them until few matches left. Al Nassr is the expected teams can stopping Al Hilal in this season seems not compete yet and looks over with their opportunity for winning domestic league after remaining 12 points of 10 matches left. I don't sure with Al Nassr can't catch up Al Hilal points in 10 matches left with inconsistency performance and other side Al Hilal still unbeaten more than 28 matches.
Next match, Al Hilal will face the 10th standings position Al Shabab and seems they can't beat Al Hilal and make them keep closer become the domestic league winner this season.

I will call the Saudi pro league the stupidest party if it keeps wasting a lot of money to buy unnecessary players like him. Lewandowski is on the way to decline from his peak performance, and I'm concerned about the statement from SPL, which said that if the club was unwilling to spend a lot of money again to buy European players.
I think that no more players should be linked to join the Saudi Pro League. The statement from Saudi Arabia is very clear: if the club does not repeat the stupid mistake of wasting money to recruit old players, it will be better for them to focus on their domestic market.
It is not wrong to link the old players to the Saudi Pro League, but I'm sure that the Saudi club will soon be unwilling to buy new players again. Saudi Arabia has stated that it will stop everything related to buying new players at nonsensical prices.
Enough is enough for the Saudi pro league to become a place to dump the old players by the European clubs.

Currently the competition for the title in the Saudi Pro League no longer looks interesting to watch because it is almost certain or can be said to be certain that the champions are Al-Hilal with a long-point advantage, no one can possibly catch them, and that is interesting to follow at this time is a competition between teams who want to get out of the relegation zone. There are around five teams whose current position can be said to be unsafe even though they are ranked outside the relegation zone.

Al-Raed, Al-Okhdood, Al-Riyadh, Al-Ta'ee and Abha only have a difference of no more than four points so with 10 matches remaining the position of these teams can still change except for Al-Hazm which can be said to be certain degraded.
The five teams that are currently struggling will certainly play optimally so that the teams that face them could get unpleasant results.

This season Benzema failed to live up to expectations, he failed to show his best performance with Al Ittihad. It must be admitted, many fans are disappointed with the performance of the former Real Madrid player, it seems like Al Ittihad investment has failed miserably this season. Even though he has returned to active training, it is not certain that Benzema performance will return to sharpness on the front lines. Previously, it was rumored that Benzema would return to play in Europe, because his relationship with the coach was not harmonious.

Since we are getting closer to the end of this season, there is more news about some players joining the Arabian teams. Some players like Salah were already linked to these teams but this time they sent another offer for Lewandowski.
Robert Lewandowski was linked to the Saudi team during the last summer and they wanted to hire this player but he decided to stay in Barcelona and keep playing in La Liga instead of taking the huge money he could earn in the Saudi League.
We definitely know Saudis could give him much more money than he could even earn in Barcelona and since he is getting old, maybe any player could choose to play for the Saudis at this age.
But it seems Lewandowski rejected another offer and this time we are talking about 100 million euros per year for Lewandowski but he said no thanks.

Benzema's performance which did not meet expectations was quite surprising because his experience playing at a big club like Real Madrid certainly makes him rich in experience so he will not have difficulty adapting, especially since he plays in a league where the competition is easier than Laliga, where he does not face defenders whose quality is the same as in Laliga so it will make it easier for him to score goals for Ittihad FC, but after months he still shows difficulty adapting and does not provide the contribution needed by his club so that criticism is directed at him.

Benzema leaving Ittihad FC is very possible even though there are no rumors about which club he will play for next because it doesn't look like he will retire from football soon, maybe to Ligue 1 to play for his home club like Sergio Ramos did after no longer being at PSG, but if another club in the Saudi Pro League makes an offer, I think he will stay in the Saudi Pro League because he will get a bigger payout than moving to Ligue 1.

The SPL is difficult for these new players; they are unable to perform at their best right now and are unable to comprehend essential top runs in the system. I've seen huge celebrities move to Saudi Arabia, and the most of them have made it out alive, while some keep on struggling. In accordance with records, the SPL will not settle for anything less than the most talented European players. Karim Benzema's form has decreased as he gets older; he is unable to position himself and score goals, and he makes several mistakes on the field.

Kelvin Kevin De Bruyne is one of the best players of the Manchester City set up and at the age of 32 I think he still have a lot to offer the club and that's why I don't think the club manager Pep Guardiola would want to let him leave the club at the end of the season.

That being said, saying that Manchester City will not have a leader in the midfielder if Kelvin De Bruyne leaves the club I think is a statement taken too far because at Manchester City, there are other great midfield players that can control the midfield in the absence of Kelvin De Bruyne

Benzema leaving Ittihad FC is very possible even though there are no rumors about which club he will play for next because it doesn't look like he will retire from football soon, maybe to Ligue 1 to play for his home club like Sergio Ramos did after no longer being at PSG, but if another club in the Saudi Pro League makes an offer, I think he will stay in the Saudi Pro League because he will get a bigger payout than moving to Ligue 1.

But to which team? I mean Benzema is old, and hasn't really shown any greatness in the last 2 seasons, just because he won Ballon D'or a year before that, doesn't mean that he is still great. Last year at Real he wasn't great and so far he hasn't been playing much this season neither, all of which means that he is not that great.

I believe that European teams would want him only if they are a small club, maybe some smaller French team may want him, not just for his talent, which he might be good for a team that level but also for jersey sales. How many mid table team could get a player after they won Ballon D'or, that should be the most important part. All in all I think it will be quite good for them to hire a player like that, but if only he is cheap.

If possible I would prefer Benzema to return to Europe and I think there he would still be more comfortable than in the Saudi league. But there is one thing that will create bad sentiment towards the Saudi League if that happens and perhaps in the future the Saudi League will not be a suitable home for footballers from Europe. Such a summary could be made by the media and the Saudi league would again suffer losses.

Maybe even if Benzema's performance is not so promising even though he has trained again, what is important in my opinion is that Al-Ittihad can keep him until his contract ends. Because I'm pretty sure there are other profitable agreements despite his declining performance and that could at least be a replacement for his failure with Al-Ittihad.

Benzema seems to have to leave Al Ittihad. The reason is, Benzema's poor performance and current situation is not caused by normal factors, such as the need for adaptation or other things. However, Benzema doesn't seem to be suitable for Al Ittihad. Because from the start Benzema joined Al Ittihad, I personally also initially expected something satisfactory from Benzema. Then at the start of the season Benzema did not perform well at Al Ittihad. But at that time I was still thinking positively and I thought Benzema needed to adapt at Al Ittihad. Then a few weeks later it was reported that Benzema had a bad relationship with his coach at Al Ittihad, and in my opinion at that time it was the Al Ittihad coach who was at fault. So when the Al Ittihad coach is replaced, I think Benzema will find his best game again.

However, it turns out that even though the Al Ittihad coach was replaced, Benzema still performed poorly. Apart from that, Benzema is also reported to have a bad relationship with the new coach at Al Ittihad. So now I have a clear conclusion, Al Ittihad or the coach cannot be blamed, because Benzema has not performed well this season. But in essence, Benzema's poor performance was caused by Benzema himself. Basically, this may be because Benzema is no longer young. Or it could also be caused by compulsion. This means that when Benzema was first offered a contract by Al Ittihad, perhaps at that time Benzema was not too interested in joining. However, because the salary offered by Al Ittihad was very large, Benzema was willing to accept the contract. So in essence, Benzema is just after his money, and in terms of his performance on the pitch, he would probably make him number two.

So even though Benzema has now started training again with his colleagues at Al Ittihad, I think it will end the same, namely that Benzema's performance will most likely be less than satisfactory. And my prediction is that Benzema will most likely resign or leave Al Ittihad after this season ends.

Karim Benzema is almost 36 years old and his last season at the Real Madrid full of injuries, so things were never been as the same level while he was in his best which create problems for him and Al Ittihad as well but still club was generous to give him huge contract and big amount as salary but sadly his wrong tactics been never help his team for having better results which are not eliminated from the AFC Champions League, and now they have no chances for the staying at the top two spots as well which is surely not idea end of them, but this creates huge mess-up for the player as well because now his reputation is also down.

But, as we know his contract is going to end 2026 so most chances we will have possible solution for both sides with most chances we will have transfer with no big club is looking for him but as rumours are coming Lyon could be happy but this all will be clear after the end of this season with Al Ittihad will allow for this possible transfer, or we will have some more drama in this all.

Maybe because Karim Benzema has not been able to adapt well so his performance has not been fully optimal, players who do not have good chemistry between other players or their coaches find it difficult to develop into great players. Even though Karim Benzema is a good striker that Real Madrid has but when he Al Ittihad Karim Benzema is not very productive and in fact the club is experiencing a decline, I don't know what is wrong, but what Al Ittihad needs to improve is the chemistry between Karim Benzema and other players and also the coach so that this can make their performance optimal and able to work together well. to bring Al Ittihad back to success.

Even if Karim Benzema really wants to return to the European League, who will accommodate Karim Benzema to the club even though he is currently old and Karim Benzema's salary is very large, so the club that wants to accommodate him must think hard about his salary and buy Karim Benzema to Al Ittihad or just a loan option. It seems that many European players have difficulty adapting to the Saudi League, so they really want to leave the Saudi League even though they are relatively new to the Saudi League competition.
