English club Manchester United has decided on the possibility of contracting with Karim Benzema, the Saudi Jeddah club striker, during the current winter transfer period.
The British newspaper “The Sun” reported that Manchester United’s management is not willing to pay the huge salary that the French player receives.
Press reports indicated that there was a sharp dispute between Benzema and Jeddah Federation officials, and speculated that the French star wanted to leave during the month of January.
However, the French newspaper “L’Equipe” indicated that what was reported in this regard was propaganda hype and that Benzema is continuing with the Saudi team and only asked to strengthen the team with strong deals.
Benzema was subjected to severe public criticism in the Jeddah Football Association, which prompted him to close his official accounts on social media platforms, before he missed nearly 3 weeks of team training.
