Man United’s Benzema Transfer Stance Revealed 

Manchester United will not attempt to buy Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad during the January transfer window, according to a report.

The French striker’s likely destination has been the Red Devils, who are trying to solve their goalscoring issues. Due to the former Real Madrid player’s age and salary demands, the club has chosen not to pursue him this month.

Benzema has nine goals in 15 Saudi Pro League games for the defending champions, but with the summer transfer of N’Golo Kante, Fabinho, Jota, and Luiz Felipe, the team’s title defence has not gone as planned. After eighteen games and twenty-five points behind leaders Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad is ranked seventh in the table.

If Benzema’s standoff with Al-Ittihad is not resolved soon, the player could end up leaving the club just months after agreeing to join.
