Karim Benzema's future at Al Ittihad is in danger. The French striker has been left out of the team's preseason in Dubai.
Benzema could return to Europe or be loaned to another club in Saudi Arabia. The transfer market in Arabia closes in 24 hours and the sheikhs who own the team do not want to part with him so easily after the money invested in his signing. The chance opens up for the Frenchman to be transferred to another team in the Saudi league on loan until the end of the season.
