Karim Benzema has made a return to his former club, Real Madrid, from Al Ittihad to continue his recovery from injury. The French forward missed Al Ittihad’s recent matches due to a muscular injury, prompting his return to Real Madrid for further rehabilitation.
Benzema’s stint at Al Ittihad, which began in 2023 after leaving Real Madrid, has been challenging. Despite winning the Ballon d’Or in the previous year, he struggled to find his form, scoring 13 goals in 29 matches. Reports of a rift between Benzema and the management at Al Ittihad circulated, fueling speculation about his potential return to Real Madrid.
His contract with Al Ittihad extends until 2026, with a reported weekly salary of £500,000. Benzema’s return to Real Madrid underscores the importance of his recovery process, as both clubs collaborate to ensure his fitness for future competitions.
