Al-Ittihad striker Karim Benzema may miss his team's next match.
Idman.Biz reports that the club will face Al-Fateh away on January 29 in the 19th round of the Saudi Arabian Pro League. According to journalist Ben Jacobs on the social media platform X, the player's possible absence is due to problems with his new contract.
According to the source, the 38-year-old striker is dissatisfied with the contract offer and has informed the club management of his intention to miss the match. Benzema has personally requested not to play in the upcoming match. Negotiations between the player and Al-Ittihad have not yielded results, and this is the main reason for the striker's decision.
Benzema's current contract with the club expires on June 30. This season, the striker has played 21 matches for Al-Ittihad and scored 16 goals. The team is currently in sixth place in the tournament table with 30 points after 17 games.
