Frenchman Karim Benzema wants to follow in the footsteps of Jordan Henderson, who will move from the Saudi Arabian club “Al Ettifaq” to “Ajax” Amsterdam, dissatisfied with the first months in the ranks of “Al Ittihad”.
In the off-season, Benzema moved from Real Madrid to Al Ittihad, signing a three-season contract. It is estimated that Benzema would earn around 200 million euros per season. Although the striker has scored 15 goals in 24 games in all competitions, he is not satisfied with his time at the club, but the team itself is not interested in letting Benzema go by selling him or loaning him to another team.
This is not a successful season for Al Ittihad. After becoming Saudi Arabian League champions last season, they are currently only in seventh place with 28 points after 18 rounds. The leader “Al Hilal” has almost double (53). Benzema was criticized for his performance by the Saudi media.
ESPN indicates that an English Premier League team could be interested in Benzema’s services, specifically mentioning London’s Chelsea. A possible return to Real Madrid is not considered possible.
