Benzema's Future Amid High Cost
The future of French striker Karim Benzema with Al Hilal Saudi Club remains uncertain after nearly seven months since his arrival. The club is now focusing on strengthening the center forward position by signing a new striker, Englishman Oli Watkins from Aston Villa, amid efforts to part ways with Benzema before the transfer window closes on September 6. Benzema's annual salary is estimated to be over 122 million euros, with the possibility of paying around 26 million dollars in a financial settlement to end his contract early, although the player is keen to stay. The club's moves have coincided with the departure of foreign players and changes to its roster, and the decision to retain Benzema remains linked to negotiations with Aston Villa and the potential transfer of Watkins, as the transfer window deadline approaches.
