Karim Benzema has reportedly asked to 'temporarily' leave Saudi Arabian giants Al-Ittihad.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Benzema remains exiled from the Al-Ittihad squad, reportedly training alone while his teammates prepare for the resumption of the Saudi Pro League season after returning from holiday 17 days late.

Reports from France now claim that the former Real Madrid striker has requested to leave the club after feeling 'under pressure' at Al-Ittihad.

According to AFP, Al-Ittihad have since offered to a loan to another team in the Saudi championship, however the idea was refused by Benzema.

The same source claimed that the 36-year-old feels 'unable to give the best of himself to Al-Ittihad because of the pressure'.
