The hell that Karim Benzema is experiencing in Saudi Arabia seems to never end. The French forward left Real Madrid last summer and joined Al-Ittihad, one of the best teams in the country. Since then he hasn't gone two weeks without a team controversy.

The last one, today, Karim Beznema left Al Ittihad training after arguing with Marcelo Gallardo, the club's Argentine coach. Because? Apparently, Gallardo does not consider Benzema to be fit, and had him train individually, which the Frenchman would have refused.

According to Diario Marca, the former Real Madrid striker was not called up for today's match between Al Ittihad and Al-Ta'ee. Thus, the rupture between the club and Benzema is confirmed, and his total departure from the team is not ruled out, sooner rather than later.

Benzema did arrive to Arabia for money, according to him!

"I am Muslim and it is a Muslim country. I have always wanted to live there. I have already been to Saudi Arabia and I feel good there. The most important thing is that it is a Muslim country, beloved and beautiful. When I spoke with my family about my signing for "Saudi Arabia, everyone was very happy and here I am, for me it is where I want to be."
