Another uproar has intensified in French football - "Olympic Lyon" club is seriously discussing the matter of bringing back their former academy graduate Karim Benzema's name. Within the team's internal circle, the idea of returning the star back to Lyon is generating increasing interest.
Benzema currently represents Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Professional League. His current contract expiring at the end of the season has opened the door for European clubs. Lyon, in particular, is eager to take advantage of this opportunity.
Karim keeps saying that he hasn't fully resolved his future issue yet. In his recent statements, he emphasized that he is thoroughly analyzing his activities in Saudi Arabia, and that the next decision must align with his personal life and professional plans. That is, for the 37-year-old forward, every step at this stage is of serious importance.
According to the French press, Lyon's management is ready to offer Benzema a one-and-a-half-year contract. At the same time, it was reported that the possibility of extending the agreement for another season is being considered. This suggestion reflects the club's desire to see Karim again as a central figure.
Transfer experts believe Benzema might not easily miss the opportunity to return to European football. Because it's natural that high-level competition, new inspiration, and the football environment he knows well will draw him back to his homeland's football.
Despite being 37 years old, Benzema is still a valuable figure for many teams with his experience, ability to read the game, and skill in handling the ball. Therefore, the possibility of his return is being watched with great interest in both Europe and France.
Most likely, in the winter or summer months, this issue will become clear, and we will all find out where Benzema opens the next page of his career. And fans are already waiting - maybe another big star will return to the European stage?
