Karim Benzema ‘offered’ to Trabzonspor as Al Hilal talks continue | OneFootball

Karim Benzema has been offered to Trabzonspor, with negotiations involving Al Hilal still without a final agreement. Goal.com reports that the approach has prompted initial talks between the Turkish club and the former Real Madrid striker.

Trabzonspor have also been in discussions with Al Hilal over a possible deal for Darwin Nunez, though no breakthrough has been reached. With that pursuit stalling, Benzema was presented as an alternative option for the club.

Andre Onana rejoined Trabzonspor on loan on July 3, 2026 for a second straight season. The squad has been further strengthened by Cape Verde World Cup star Sidny Lopes Cabral. On August 6, 2026 Mohamed Salah signed a two-year contract after leaving Liverpool as a free agent.

Benzema is a multiple Champions League winner from his decorated Real Madrid career. In Saudi Arabia he has 48 goals from 75 appearances across five seasons in the Saudi Pro League, spending three campaigns with Al-Ittihad before joining Al Hilal on a free on the final day of the 2025-26 winter window, signing a deal until 2027.

Trabzonspor are evaluating the feasibility of the proposal and remain in contact with Benzema’s representatives. The club are working through the structural and administrative details, with progress hinging on meetings between management and the player’s camp in the coming days.
