Chelsea suffer blow in pursuit of Karim Benzema who is set
o remain at Al-Ittihad
Sportswriter David Ornstein has updated readers on Karim Benzema’s potential move to Chelsea and
stated that the striker will stay at Al-Ittihad for the time being despite some problems with the team.
The striker is reportedly eager to return to Europe, and Manchester United is also interested in adding
the forward to their lineup on loan. Chelsea has also made a loan bid for the former Real Madrid player.
In the meantime, the Blues have added Roberto Firmino and Jhon Duan to their list of strikers and are
intensifying their search for one, possibly as a temporary solution.
But so far, Ornstein understands the striker and club will hold discussion and will sort out the issues which could see Benzema remain at the club despite several clubs’ interest, he said on The Daily Transfer Briefing:
“Karim Benzema, to my understanding, is going to be staying in the Saudi Pro League. That’s
the intention of the competition, and that extends to his club, Al-Ittihad, despite there being
a bit of an issue going on right now and suggestions that he’s not turning up for training
camps, etc.”
“I’m told that he will be reintegrated into training, the meetings will be taking place, and I
think there are some planned in Dubai for later this week, and they’ll try and smooth that
situation over.”
It would have been difficult to sign him even if he had been available since the Saudi
organization would have demanded a loan charge and might have even told us to pay his
hefty salary. However, we can consider other choices. Firmino is another option, but it would
be foolish to sign Duan given that we already have Armando Broja and Nicolas Jackson. Why
add another young player when we already have two?

We still have good choices if we don’t wind up signing any of them, and if Christopher
Nkunku stays healthy till the conclusion of the season, we shouldn’t have too much problem
scoring goals. Jackson is beginning to demonstrate his ability to score goals, and Broja will be
a reliable backup.
