"All of you are liars". Benzema reacted sharply to the rumors of his return to Europe.

Forward Karim Benzema of Al-Ittihad reacted sharply to the persistent rumors in the media about his conflict with the team's head coach and his potential return to Europe.

According to the French striker, he is content in Saudi Arabia and has no plans to relocate.

"I am back and now I am better. The story of my departure is not true and I am happy in Saudi Arabia. I have no problems with Gallardo, all those who say I want to return to Europe are liars. I am very happy at Al-Ittihad. For my part, I have no problems with anyone. Ask the coach about my absence, I was ready for the internship in Dubai." Benzema said.

Benzema has been playing for Al-Ittihad since last summer. The 36-year-old footballer has scored 12 goals and provided 6 assists for the Saudi team.

This week, the forward played for Al-Ittihad for the first time since the alleged conflict with head coach Marcelo Gallardo, scoring an own goal for his team.
