Recently, the French press has been increasingly writing about Karim Benzema’s separation from Al-Ittihad, as relations between the two parties are cold. Goal.com journalists put forward a spectacular hypothesis: the French forward can restore the attacking pair with Cristiano Ronaldo.

L’Equipe has written extensively that Benzema is closing in on signing with another team in Saudi Arabia, and Goal.com have put it bluntly: Al Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo is registered with the group in Riyadh, so there is a good chance that the Frenchman and the Portuguese will be team-mates again after their successful partnership at Real Madrid.

It was also written about Benzema that he is wanted by “Lyon”, the team that brought him to big football, but the Sheikhs want the striker not to leave Saudi Arabia.

Under these conditions, the option of “Al-Nassr” becomes attractive for the winner of the “Golden Ball-2022”.

At the age of 36, Benzema scored 9 goals and made 5 assists for Al Ittihad.

On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo is much better with 20 goals and 9 assists with Al-Nassr.

We will remind, Benzema and Ronaldo were teammates in Real Madrid for nine seasons, where they won important trophies.

According to Goal.com, there is a possibility that the French forward will initially be loaned by Al-Ittihad to Al-Nassr. The Saudi Arabian Championship will resume on February 7.

Al-Nassr is second in the table (46 points) while Al-Ittihad is 7th with only 28 points. The leader of “Al-Hilal” has 53 points.
