Karim Benzema is considering a potential exit from the Saudi Pro League, putting Premier League giants Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal on high alert. Despite scoring 15 goals in 24 appearances for Al Ittihad, the former Real Madrid striker has faced challenges in adapting to his new environment, reportedly clashing with now-former manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
The 2022 Ballon d’Or winner has drawn interest from Premier League clubs seeking a prolific striker before the January transfer window closes. Manchester United, in particular, with limited funds, is exploring options to bolster their attacking lineup, following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. Chelsea, despite substantial investments in players, is also in search of a prolific striker, with challenges faced by summer signing Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson’s erratic form.
Arsenal, in need of a striker, could find a loan move for Benzema appealing, especially with Ivan Toney unlikely to leave Brentford until the summer. While Al Ittihad is reluctant to part ways with their star player, the situation could change if Benzema perceives an opportunity to return to a major European club, especially after Jordan Henderson’s successful negotiations for a move to Ajax.
As the transfer window unfolds, Benzema’s potential move back to European football remains a focal point, with Premier League clubs monitoring the situation closely.
