Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Spanish club Real Madrid, denied newspaper allegations regarding the return of player Karim Benzema to the ranks of the “Merengue” team during the next stage.
Reports claimed that Ancelotti wanted to return Benzema to the team, but Florentino Perez, Chairman of the Board of Directors, refused to do so.
Karim Benzema is absent from the training camp of the Saudi Jeddah Club, Al-Ittihad, in the Emirates, which raised speculation regarding the possibility of the French striker leaving the “Tigers” team and moving to another club.
Carlo Ancelotti was asked regarding these allegations in a press conference prior to the match between Real Madrid and Las Palmas, and he replied: “Fake news, we never talked regarding this matter with the club.”
Benzema left the “Merengue” team in the last summer transfer market, following spending 14 seasons with them, and joined the Jeddah Club, the champion of the Saudi “Roshen” League last season.
Karim Benzema (36 years old) participated in 20 matches with the “Tigers” team, in various competitions of the current season 2023/24, during which he scored 12 goals and provided 5 assists.
