Karim Benzema has been a problem for Marcelo Gallardo in it Al Ittihad of Arabia Saudita during the last few days. The French striker was absent for six training sessions and Muñeco decided not to take him to the preseason with the Arab team.
In this context, the ‘Cat’ wants to leave Al Ittihad and there is already a very important team in Europe interested in his services. This is the Chelsea team led by the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino and where the world champion with the Argentine National Team, Enzo Fernández, plays.
According to reports in England, the Blues are analyzing the possibility of incorporating Benzema on loan. The second option is Roberto Firmino, who at 32 years old is also in the Saudi Arabian League, representing Al-Ahli.
Chelsea is not having a good season, as it is ninth with 31 points in the Premier League. The London team won 9 games, drew 4 and lost 8. Their next match will be against the leader Liverpool, on Wednesday, January 31 from 5:15 p.m. on the 22nd.
