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
