After joining Jeddah Union with the aura of the Ballon d’Or, Benzema was unable to help the team in his first season in Saudi Arabia. Instead, off-field issues plagued him, ultimately leading to the team’s poor performance.
To avoid a repeat of this situation in the new season, Jeddah Union will help the French star build a squad with a French core to help Benzema adapt to the league.
The first step was replacing the head coach, bringing in French coach Blanc. In addition, the club signed Roma midfielder and fellow Frenchman, Veretout. Furthermore, Jeddah Union is chasing Villa winger Diaby, who is currently close to joining the Saudi league for a stunning €60 million transfer fee.
Benzema is very satisfied with these signings. He is currently preparing for the upcoming preseason, and in an interview, Benzema said, “We are ready to face the preseason in the best possible condition. We have brought in a new coach, new players, and of course, other aspects are also very good.”
