Abeg, make we gist about that wahala wey dey happen for Al Ittihad. Our guy, Karim Benzema, don turn superstar wey dey play solo because he no gree accept the contract wey dem give am. That contract na dry offer, make we just say like that!
The former Real Madrid striker dey vex as he feel say dem don disrespect am. After all the trophies wey he don carry come back during him time for Spain, now dem come dey talk say make he just dey work for dem without pay. No be play wey dey use image rights dem wan pay am? Na serious matter!
As Benzema dey shine for Saudi Pro League, dem offer am contract wey be like say if him accept am, na so he go just dey train and flex without any serious cash on top. And my people, no be small wahala oo! Him don choose to pull himself from the team, dey train solo, thinking say maybe if he carry him mouth dey talk, dem go change their mind.
With five months left for him contract, everybody sabi say him dey reason him future well. Him performance no bad at all this season; he don score 8 goals from 14 matches. But any player wey no dey happy for the club, e go dey affect everything wey dem dey do, especially when dem dey fight for better position for the league table.
The wahala no stop there; N’Golo Kanté too dey near the exit door as him don dey negotiate with Fenerbahçe. E be like say Al Ittihad need to open dem eye before dem lose as dem fit end up with serious empty spaces if these big boys leave. Na true talk!
And if we dey look far, Benzema fit join Juve or some other top club for Europe before the new season start. As e dey be now, e get plenty options because na free agent e go be come summer. The way football dey go now, more players dey become sharp at old age, dem dey slay till dem reach them forties, so na very interesting time to be a football fan!
Anyway, we go watch as the matter dey unfold. Benzema don show say e fit stay strong, but e be like say nobody wan play for free. Al Ittihad better kuku start to mend that relationship, otherwise dem fit lose their best player just like that!
