BRATISLAVA – It all started with the nickname Ben-Hazim for Karim Benzema’s offensive diet portions and his wet gunpowder, now the situation is getting worse.
Football life moved to Saudi Arabia during the summer of 2023, because many world personalities – Sadio Mané, Neymar, Karim Benzema, Roberto Firmino or Kalidou Koulibaly – could not resist offers for oil money. Net spending among world leagues was second only to the Premier League ($907 million). Bank accounts were just overflowing with papers, but not everything is licked.
Karim Benzema came under pressure from fans at Al-Ittihad last week who criticized him for his poor attacking productivity, resulting in him deleting his social media account. Discontent in the country ruled by King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud was also recently expressed by other footballers.
The Spanish portal Diario Sport reports that many stars cannot get used to a different climate, a new culture, tragically low attendances at matches and last but not least, they are hindered by different rights for their wives. If the situation does not turn around, there could be a huge outflow to and from Europe next summer.
Just remember how many were surprised during the summer when Lionel Messi turned down a move to Asia in favor of North America and signed for Inter Miami CF. They also waved heavy millions in front of Mohamed Salah’s eyes, but in the end he stayed in Liverpool. He’s obviously done well as LFC are in contention for the title again and the Egyptian pharaoh is a key man in Klopp’s attack.
