Karim Benzema is reportedly considering a move away from Al Ittihad, despite having joined the side just seven months ago after parting ways with Real Madrid.
And according to Fabrice Hawkings of RMC Sport, the Frenchman might be heading back to his former club... Lyon, where the striker began his career. During his time with Les Gones, Karim recorded 66 goals and 27 assists in 148 games before leaving for Madrid at 22.
Fourteen years later, the Ligue 1 side are keen on a homecoming, although the financial aspects of the deal might be a problem. Benzema, currently one of the best-paid players in Saudi, earning £88 million per year, would need to accept a substantial pay cut for the move to happen.
Lyon are not the only side that try to bring Karim back to Europe, though, as Premier League sides like Arsenal and Manchester United are also closely following his situation.
