Reports confirmed today, Thursday, that despite Karim Benzema, the striker for the Saudi Union Club, being close to renewing his contract with the club's management, there is something preventing them from finalizing it.

The reports indicated that Benzema is in the same position as Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, the striker for Al Nassr, regarding the expiration of his contract in a few days, yet he confirmed his continuation with the global team despite receiving numerous offers.

On the other hand, the Union is currently undergoing an electoral phase, which may lead to a change in the board of directors, a matter that concerns the striker and many players on the team, as they desire stability and continuity of the project, which requires the French player's approval.

The anxiety of Union fans stems from the possibility of a change in management, knowing that Benzema and Ronaldo are the two most prominent figures in Saudi football and have contributed to developing the league to unprecedented levels.

According to sources, it seems that the agreement between Benzema and the Union is on the verge of becoming official, but it has not been finalized yet, and anything is possible until the signing.
