Karim Benzema has returned to Real Madrid - at least on a temporary basis.
The forward spent 14 years in Spain as a Madrid player, winning countless titles with his accolades highlighted by a Ballon d'Or win in 2022, just months prior to his departure from the club.
He joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad in the summer, penning a three-year contract thought to be worth £86million-a-season, with the Frenchman joining the division champions.
All has not gone to plan so far, with Benzema already slating his team-mates and clashing with manager Marcelo Gallardo in his short stint at the club.
Currently out injured, he has returned to Spain and former side Madrid, though will return to Saudi Arabia sooner rather than later.
