Karim Benzema reportedly clashed with Al Ittihad manager Marcelo Gallardo after refusing an order.
Benzema seemed ready to leave the Saudi Pro League team in the January transfer window and was strongly connected with clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
According to MARCA, tensions between Benzema and Gallardo persist.
During Monday's training, Benzema was asked to train alone after starting with the team. As the team's captain, he refused and walked out, feeling he had already trained individually during his absence.
Gallardo, firm in his stance, didn't offer special treatment due to Benzema's actions.
Benzema signed a three-year deal with Al Ittihad, aiming to help them retain their Saudi Pro League title. Despite additional signings like Kante and Fabinho, they're currently in seventh place, a significant 28 points behind leaders Al Hilal after 18 games.
