Karim Benzema, the Golden Ball winner with Real Madrid and five-time Champions League winner and now a forward for Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, has said he will not return to Europe.
Thus, the football player denied allegations that he had a disagreement with Al-Ittihad head coach Marcelo Gallardo and that he was planning to move from the Saudi club to the European championship.
“I’m training again and I’m feeling better. The story I left is a lie. I’m happy to be in Saudi Arabia. I have no problems with Marcelo Gallardo. All those who say I want to return to Europe are liars!” – Quotes from Benzema goal.com.
Previously, in mid-January, Gallardo suspended Benzema from training with the team because the Frenchman did not arrive at the club base in time for Al-Ittihad’s training camp.
It was previously known that Arsen Zakharyan. will be taken to hospital.
