In the end, he choose to stay in Saudi Arabia. But after Monday, he is probably regretting his decision. As he is regretting the career decision to join Saudi Arabia too, even thou he is a Muslim, and thinks that it’s very important for any Muslim to be in Saudi Arabia. Yes, we are talking about Karim Benzema, and yes he is in a quarrel with the club again. This time it’s with the club coach Marcelo Gallardo, who ordered him to train alone. Needless to say, the former Real star didn’t like at and left the training ground. 🚨 Karim Benzema walked out of Al-Ittihad training on Tuesday after being ordered to work on his own by manager Marcelo Gallardo.(Source: @MARCA) pic.twitter.com/LjSE8PUFKn— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) February 8, 2024 This is just the continuation of a fraud with the club which started when he was late 17 days for the start of the training camp and for 10 days, the club executives couldn’t even reach him. He blamed a cyclone on Mauritius, where he was on holiday, due to which he couldn’t come back to Saudi Arabia, but that didn’t convince anybody at Al-Ittihad. There were also rumors that he was the one who got Nuno Espirito Santo sacked, and now he is in quarrel with the new coach too. Marcelo Gallardo is believed to be a person who does not admit privileges, so he was ordered to train alone due to being late to the preparations. Gallardo is prepared to reinstate him as soon as Karim apologizes and starts to obey the general rules, like all other players. After he stormed out of the training on Monday, he didn’t feature in the game against Al Taee (Al-Ittihad won 3-0) but trained in the gym with the injured players.Benzema wants world-class teammates – and Al-Ittihad don’t want him to return to EuropeThis season is not going to plan as far as the club is concerned. Last year, they won the league against all odds, and with Nuno Espirito Santo as coach, and this season, with the likes of Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Fabinho, and Jota, they are fifth in the table, 22 points less than the leading Al-Hilal. The club talked with Benzema during the January transfer window in order to find the solution and even let him go on a loan, but in the end he choose to stay. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7855503##
