According to the latest update from Fabrizio Romano, Karim Benzema, a former Ballon d’Or winner, has officially completed a surprising six-month loan deal with a Premier League club.

Considering a departure from the Saudi Pro League, Karim Benzema is set to alert Chelsea and Manchester United about his potential availability.

The 2022 Ballon d’Or winner reportedly had disagreements with his former manager Nuno Espirito Santo, leading to his interest in a Premier League move. United, despite financial constraints, might consider Benzema to bolster their attacking options, especially with a need for a prolific striker after Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure.

Chelsea, under Mauricio Pochettino, has struggled to find a productive striker despite significant investments in new players. While Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku have faced challenges, the potential departure of Armando Broja could open a spot for a new forward. Arsenal, in search of a striker, might find a loan move for Benzema sensible, given the uncertainties around Ivan Toney’s availability from Brentford.

With Al Ittihad reluctant to lose Benzema this month, the player may explore options to secure a return to a major European club in the next two weeks, especially if Jordan Henderson’s move to Ajax is successful.
