Al Ittihad Coach Marcelo Gallardo Erases Karim Benzema from Club
When coach Marcelo Gallardo signed for Al Ittihad, he expressed his excitement about working with Karim Benzema, a player who has achieved great success in football. Gallardo praised Benzema’s performance in the Argentine tournament and his close bond with the players.
However, it seems that Benzema’s time at Al Ittihad has come to an abrupt end. The Frenchman has not trained for six days and has been criticized for his performance, leading to his strained relationship with the team. After repeatedly failing to attend practice, Gallardo made the decision to exclude Benzema from the club’s preseason activities, indicating that the player may not continue in the Saudi Arabian League.
Benzema’s absence from the preseason has raised questions about his whereabouts. Sources close to the player claimed that he was unable to attend due to being trapped in Mauritius during a cyclone.
The situation with Benzema adds to the drama surrounding the club, as fellow player Kylian Mbappé is reportedly asking for an exorbitant salary for his potential move to Liverpool, causing concern for Real Madrid. As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen where Benzema’s next destination in Europe will be after his unexpected departure from Al Ittihad.
