That's why there were some rumors about Benzema leaving Al Ittihad but Al Ittihad recently said they will keep this French superstar player there.
Currently Benzema has one season left with Al Ittihad so it may make Al Ittihad keep Benzema for the team next season although actually this season Benzema is not performing optimally with Al Ittihad, besides that Benzema is indeed rumored not to feel at home in Arabia, so he had run away from Al Ittihad training and skipped the matches played by Al Ittihad this season, I think maybe Benzema will no longer want to play wholeheartedly for Al Ittihad next season because of the discomfort.
Keeping Benzema for another season is of course a good step taken by al ittihad in addition to preventing dismissal compensation money, of course at least currently al ittihad has a source of money from the sale of benzema jerseys, so that at least it can cover the costs incurred by al ittihad so far, keeping Benzema is the right step, but indeed they must also be able to bring in other strikers who they can indeed rely on next season, besides improving every line of the squad, so that they can compete for the trophy next season.
Here the team is giving this titan a chance because they basically know the capabilities of Benzema the kitten and if I had that team I would definitely leave Benzema too. I remember everything he did for Madrid, it was spectacular and for me it is one of the best things they could have done. In this case we strongly believe that Benzema will not leave this time, he will adapt well and we will see all his potential. I am glad that he stayed, because Benzema must not be too big for him and this football is made for him to shine, it should always be like that, Francé is very good.
