Benfica receive transfer update on Karim Benzema | OneFootball

Karim Benzema could be a reinforcement for Fenerbahçe. The Turkish club is interested in securing the signing of the French forward, who has been linked with Benfica, for a reunion with José Mourinho, who coached him at Real Madrid.

According to the Turkish press, Jhon Durán's performance has not been acceptable, in the view of Fenerbahçe's management. Loaned by Al Nassr, the Colombian forward might return to Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus's squad as early as January.

Therefore, Fenerbahçe has turned its attention to Karim Benzema, trying to convince Benfica's target to leave Saudi Arabia and return to European football, having prepared a one-season contract valid until June 2027.

Benzema's contract ends at the end of the season and, after being linked with Benfica, José Mourinho denied interest in the striker. However, recent information has assured that the player is indeed being considered by the club's management.

This season, playing for Al Ittihad, Karim Benzema - valued at 7 million euros - has played four matches. In the 360 minutes he has played, the footballer has scored three goals. Since arriving in Saudi Arabia, the player has already won a championship and a cup with the Jeddah club.
