Karim Benzema could push to leave Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad in 2024.
Benzema opted to make the move the Middle East in June, after negotiating an exit from Real Madrid, to complete a free transfer move.
The deal was tipped to be a key step for the defending Saudi champions but Benzema has struggled for consistency in Jeddah.
After a strong start to the campaign, Benzema’s goals have dried up, and he is rumoured to have ‘disappeared’ following Al Ittihad’s 5-2 defeat to Al Nassr on December 26.
He was not included in the squad for their postponed clash with Al Ta’ee two days later and the situation remains unclear.
Reports from local outlets, as covered via Diario AS, have claimed Benzema has left Jeddah, as the season moves into a mid-campaign break.
Criticism over his form remains harsh in Saudi Arabia, and there is an open possibility that he could look to leave, and walk out on the final two years of his contract.

The people who said CR7 is scoring a lot of goals bcos the Saudi league is easy, don't forget Karim benzema walked into the Saudi league as the current balon dor winner at that time, and also the best striker in the whole of Europe, but he's struggling to dominate an "easy" Saudi league.

compare the quality of the players around Benzema and Cr5 .... Al Nassr is built around Cr5 but the case is not the same with Benzema

Players like Benzema and others go to Saudi for the money. CR5 thinks the only way to close the gap to Messi is by statpadding against Al Walayi in the desert. Now that he's not getting recognition from top flight football, he's posting CRying emojis under mere IFFHS nominations😂
