So even though Benzema has now started training again with his colleagues at Al Ittihad, I think it will end the same, namely that Benzema's performance will most likely be less than satisfactory. And my prediction is that Benzema will most likely resign or leave Al Ittihad after this season ends.

Benzema's performance which did not meet expectations was quite surprising because his experience playing at a big club like Real Madrid certainly makes him rich in experience so he will not have difficulty adapting, especially since he plays in a league where the competition is easier than Laliga, where he does not face defenders whose quality is the same as in Laliga so it will make it easier for him to score goals for Ittihad FC, but after months he still shows difficulty adapting and does not provide the contribution needed by his club so that criticism is directed at him.

Benzema leaving Ittihad FC is very possible even though there are no rumors about which club he will play for next because it doesn't look like he will retire from football soon, maybe to Ligue 1 to play for his home club like Sergio Ramos did after no longer being at PSG, but if another club in the Saudi Pro League makes an offer, I think he will stay in the Saudi Pro League because he will get a bigger payout than moving to Ligue 1.

Yes that's correct. With Benzema's wealth of experience, playing in the Saudi Arabian League should not be too difficult for Benzema. However, the reality is that currently Benzema looks like a player who doesn't have much experience. In fact, if you look at Benzema's achievements to date, he has achieved a lot. For example

Become the top scorer in La Liga in the 2021-2022 season.
Become the best player in UCL.(2021-2022)
Received the Ballon d'Or award in 2022.

Apart from that, Benzema has made many other achievements during his career in the world of football to date. So when Benzema experienced a very significant decline in performance, I also really didn't expect it. Because if you look at other European players who are currently playing in the Saudi Arabian League, such as Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Talisca and Mitrovic, they are all performing quite well. However, Benzema actually had difficulty showing his best performance.

In fact, if you look at the comfort of the country, Saudi Arabia is a Muslim-majority country. So Benzema should be happy about this and even more enthusiastic about being able to play longer in Saudi Arabia, because Benzema is a Muslim.

And it's true, until now there have been no clear rumors regarding Benzema's move from Al Ittihad. However, I also agree with you regarding Benzema's prediction that if he moves clubs it will definitely be to Ligue 1 Francis. The reason is that Benzema is now quite old, so having a career in the country where he was born is certainly not bad. Because of course Benzema will definitely be closer to his family.
