What has been revealed by Fabrizio Romano on the rumors regarding the actions of Karim Benzema and Gunners…
Rumors relating the Gunners to a new forward have been circulating since the January transfer market opened.
According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal has entered the battle for Benzema as rumors regarding his future at Al-Ittihad persist.It seems that the striker is being considered by the Gunners for a loan agreement.
Following reports of interest from Arsenal and other teams, Fabrizio Romano has now disclosed what he has learned of Al-Ittihad’s position on Benzema.
Unfortunately, for those who would want to see the former Real Madrid player wear red and white, the news is not good right now.
In response to Romano’s post on CaughtOffside, Al-Ittihad intends to exert pressure on Benzema over his signature.
According to what Romano has heard from the club, Al-Ittihad does not intend to approve Benzema’s departure in January.
In the following days, let’s examine the situation and Benzema’s improvement.
Guys, in spite of all the rumors, I’m not aware of any advanced deal or anything concrete with an English club, including with Arsenal at the present time.”
Although Benzema participated in the Saudi Pro League team last summer, The Independent claims that he is not pleased with the way things are going at the moment.
Despite only scoring 15 goals in 24 games, the 36-year-old has apparently drawn criticism for his performances in the Saudi media, the article claims.
Al-Ittihad, who took first place last season, has struggled this year and is currently ranked eighth, 25 places behind leaders Al-Hilal.
A report from The Independent claims that Benzema is thinking of relocating to England.
You can see the connections between the two parties, as Arsenal could need an all-around finisher to improve their ranks.
But that it’s unclear if additional Saudi Pro League players would follow Jordan Henderson, who recently left Al-Ettifaq to join Ajax.
There isn’t much the Gunners or any other bidders can do, though, if Al-Ittihad won’t engage in business.
