Karim Benzema finds himself back at the center of the international market after a serious conflict with Al-Ittihad. The French forward believes the Saudi club has broken its word and has made a drastic decision that could have immediate consequences.

The player's entourage ensures that there was a verbal agreement to renew on similar financial terms to the current ones. However, the new proposal presented by the club implies a substantial cut that has led to a total rupture.

The reaction of Karim Benzema was swift. The striker decided not to compete with the team until the agreed terms are respected, straining a relationship that seemed solid just a few months ago.

Karim Benzema feels betrayed by Al-Ittihad

Al-Ittihad heavily relied on Karim Benzema as the face and sports leader of the project. His media impact was immediate, but the contractual management has detonated the coexistence between both parties.

The Frenchman believes his status and performance deserved continuity under the same conditions. The new, significantly lower offer has been interpreted as a lack of personal and professional respect. The Saudi club is trying to ease tensions, but the player has already stated that he will not back down. The standoff is underway, and the outcome is approaching.

Real Madrid reappears on the horizon

In light of this situation, the player's agent has initiated direct contacts with Real Madrid. The proposal is clear: a short-term contract to bolster the front line until the end of the season.

The option is not outlandish. The new coach, Álvaro Arbeloa, needs immediate solutions after a tumultuous first half of the season and Xabi Alonso's departure from the bench. Karim Benzema knows the house, the environment, and the demand. His experience in LaLiga could be a differential factor in a young dressing room in need of offensive leadership.

Florentino Pérez, facing a delicate decision

The white president has always maintained a special relationship with the French forward. Nonetheless, the context is different, and the club must evaluate the sporting, salary, and media impact. Karim Benzema's return would not be long-term. The idea is to sign until the summer and then facilitate a final destination befitting his status.

The sports management is assessing whether his signing fits the new project and if he can provide immediate solutions without disrupting the team's balance.

A rupture that could change the market

The conflict with Al-Ittihad has unveiled an unexpected scenario. Saudi Arabia thus loses one of its major figures, and the European market gains an opportunity. At 38 years old, Karim Benzema remains convinced that he can compete at the highest level. His refusal to continue in Saudi Arabia is both an economic and a matter of professional pride.

The outcome will depend on the willingness of the white club and Florentino Pérez. If the door opens, the return of the idol could become one of the major moves of the season in LaLiga.
