Karim Benzema has once again become the head of Lyon. According to L’Equipe, the French club this summer considered the possibility of turning the 38-foot striker, and the footballer himself was ready to accept such a proposal.

However, at that time, Benzema still had a valid contract with Al-Hilal, which added to the potential for a return to France. The 31 sides enforced a counteraction, after which the attacker relinquished his status as a free agent.

However, after the separation with the club, Benzema lost his obligations to Saudi Arabia. The Frenchman continues to win his contract as an ambassador for the World Championship, insured until 2030.

As L’Equipe means, this status itself may not allow a footballer to play for a club in another country.

The Saudi Arabian Power Investment Fund (PIF) does not allow its star players to continue their careers beyond the local championship for such reasons..

Thus, Benzema could potentially lose his position in European football until the completion of his craws in 2030.. At that time, I was already 43 years old, so the Frenchman assumes that the attacker can end his professional career much earlier.

At the Al-Hilal warehouse, Benzema played 16 matches, scoring 10 goals and providing 5 assists.
