Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti speaks on Karim Benzema transfer rumours

According to the report from football-espana, Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema is in talks with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad over a potential return to European football, just six months after leaving the Santiago Bernabeu. There was a report this week that Carlo Ancelotti had asked Real Madrid to bring Benzema back on loan until the end of the season.informationguidenigeria

At the moment, it appears talks are deadlocked. Manchester United, Arsenal and Olympique Lyon have been in touch with his camp over a potential deal, but unless Benzema takes a mammoth wage cut from his €100m per annum salary, then he won’t be going anywhere.informationguidenigeria

Ancelotti was asked about the report, and whether he could head back to the Spanish capital. “That’s a lie, we have never spoken to the club about this,” was his blunt response.JAMB Portal

Real Madrid have very rarely gone into the transfer market in the January window over the last decade. There was a spell where the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor and Javier Hernandez arrived on loan on short-term deals, but their approach these days appears to be only moving for the absolutely necessary, or players they want at the club long-term.
