Al-Ittihad head coach Sergio Conceicao received information about Karima Benzema's potential to play for the team after a conflict with the club.

Previously, it was reported that the 38-year-old forward was dissatisfied with the new proposal to the club and asked not to be included until the application for the Pro-League match against Al-Fateh, which ended in a 2:2 draw.

Conceicao went into specifics, saying:.

" I am here to coach, prepare the team for matches, achieve results and win titles. Everything else goes beyond the boundaries of my work.

Also, the Portuguese leader emphasized the importance of the French striker for the team:.

I can only say one thing: Karim is a wonderful professional and a fantastic person, which is how I describe myself as a coach,” Serzhiu said.

Gravets is on a transfer to a European club, the rest of which he wants to spend on the World Cup 2026.
