Speculation is rife that Al-Ittihad striker Karim Benzema could soon find himself alongside former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, as rumors swirl regarding his uncertain future in the Saudi Pro League.
Benzema, whose future at Al Ettihad appears uncertain, has reportedly engaged in discussions with a Riyadh-based club, fueling speculation of a potential move to Al-Nassr.
The French striker’s situation at Al Ettihad has been complicated, with reports suggesting that head coach Marcelo Gallardo has marginalized him. Consequently, Al Ettihad is reportedly open to allowing Benzema to depart on a temporary deal, albeit within the confines of the Saudi Pro League.
According to reports from L’Equipe, Benzema’s talks with Al-Nassr have intensified, hinting at the possibility of a reunion with Ronaldo, who currently plies his trade with the Riyadh-based club.
However, Al-Hilal, the league leaders, are also believed to be monitoring Benzema’s situation closely, adding another layer of intrigue to the ongoing transfer saga.
