Transfer interest is building around Karim Benzema, with Al-Ittihad understood to be weighing-up a move for the Al Hilal forward. While there has been no official bid as yet, the club may act swiftly if they decide to pursue the deal before the transfer window slams shut. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Trabzonspor, Al Hilal and Real Madrid decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. Al-Ittihad have been strong going forward this season, with 5 goals scored in 3 games (1.67 per game). Karim Benzema would give them depth and keep that attacking firepower going all season. Al Hilal continue to be linked with Rafael Leao, Francisco Fernandes Conceicao and Gabriel Martinelli while Al-Ittihad are also rumoured to be tracking Malcom and Mukhtar Ali.
