Benzema ‘to decide’ between Saudi stay or American move after Al-Hilal exit talks | OneFootball

Benzema is edging towards an Al-Hilal exit before the summer window shuts, with his next move undecided. The veteran France striker has options that include staying in Saudi Arabia or heading to the American league.

AS reports that he could remain in Saudi Arabia, either returning to Al-Ittihad, where he previously played, or joining Al-Shabab in the coming weeks.

The 38-year-old joined Al-Hilal in the last winter window. His stint now appears to be nearing its end, with club officials in talks to terminate his contract before deadline day.

AS also says he has no plans to retire, although Marca indicates retirement has not been fully ruled out.

Fabrizio Romano reports that a return to European football is off the table for now, which weakens any Lyon links. If he does not stay in Saudi Arabia, the American league is viewed as the leading alternative, with the Scottish league still mentioned in reports.
