“Benzema breaks the silence about his departure from Al Ittihad and issues a warning.”

Karim Benzema, the French star who recently delighted fans with a stunning debut for Al Hilal, where he scored three goals in an impressive 6-0 victory over Al Akhdoud, cannot escape the controversy surrounding his departure from Al Ittihad. The player, who was one of the stars of Real Madrid, found himself embroiled in disagreements that culminated in the termination of his contract with the club managed by Sérgio Conceição. Now, by signing with a direct rival in the title race, his move has drawn significant attention during the post-match press conference.

With the victory, Al Hilal secured the top spot in the Saudi Pro League (SPL), now accumulating 50 points, three ahead of second-placed Al Ahli, and four ahead of Al Nassr, who are preparing to face the former coach of FC Porto, without the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo. However, the focus was not only on the achievement but also on Benzema’s troubled departure from Al Ittihad.

When questioned about the reasons that led him to leave Al Ittihad, Benzema preferred to sidestep, emphasizing that the important thing was the team’s performance. “Let’s just talk about the game, I feel a great energy with this group and this club,” he stated, expressing a desire to focus on the present and leave the controversies behind.

Meanwhile, the issue of his farewell to his Al Ittihad teammates did not go unnoticed. With an enigmatic response, Benzema dropped a hint that fuels speculation. “Do you know about this? Do you really? Ask them… ask the players,” he shot back, suggesting that his departure may not have been as abrupt as widely reported. His statement implies that, contrary to what was believed, there may have been a farewell moment, albeit in an unconventional manner.

Benzema, now one of the stars of Al Hilal, has seen his move generate a whirlwind of emotions, both among fans and behind the scenes in the Saudi league. What seemed to be a smooth transition is thus transforming into a story filled with intrigue and secrets, leaving the question hanging: what really happened in the final days of his time at Al Ittihad? Answers may not be readily available, but the mystery continues to captivate fans and the media.
