Karim Benzema will no longer compete in Saudi Arabia.

AFP reports that K. Benzema has informed “Al Ittihad“ officials of his desire to temporarily leave the club.

It is unclear at the moment where the next career stop for the 36-year-old Frenchman might be, but “Chelsea”, “Man Utd” and “Arsenal“ clubs are monitoring the situation. “Lyon” also dreams of the striker's return.

The French forward is the most expensive player in the Saudi Arabian league, along with Cristiano Ronaldo. They earn approximately 200 million euros per year.
