The Saudi Arabian league has been on a rampage in attracting superstars over the past year, but not many of them have realized that the high salaries in the Middle East are not easy to earn, and there has been a wave of exodus recently. After Jordan Henderson's return to Ajax of the Dutch league, Benschmar, Robert Tufamino and Milan Kovacsavage are all hoping to return to Europe, and transfer authority Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Lyon is ready to offer Benschmar a return.
Jordan Henderson is out of Saudi Arabia after six months, and the next player to flee the country could be Benschmar. Romano reported on Tuesday (23) that Lyon's Tesda had already started negotiations with Benschmar a month ago, provided the 36-year-old striker agrees to take a big pay cut. The Saudi Arabian league does not want to lose its signature player, and could even arrange for him to move to another Saudi club if he does not want to stay at the Etihad.
However, it seems that Benschmar is determined to go back to the club. He went on vacation without the club's approval and was kicked out of the training camp for being late in returning to the team, and his relationship with coach Marcelo Canadeau is not good. Benschmar, who started his career at Lyon and played five seasons for the first team before moving to Real Madrid, has not ruled out a return to his parent club with a big pay cut.
In addition, the Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino, who is playing for Jeddah Ali, and Hilal midfielder Milian Govic Savage have reportedly expressed their willingness to leave the team. However, Jeddah Ali insisted that Firmino should at least play this season, and it is rumored that Newcastle, Chelsea and other clubs are interested in the team; Italy's "Messaggero" broke the news and pointed out that Milian Govic Savage has expressed his regret of leaving the team and hopes to come back to the nest to Russo.
