What now for Benzema?

The question everyone is asking: Where will Karim Benzema go? A return to Europe? A move to MLS? Or maybe a new adventure in another Saudi Arabian club?

One thing is for sure – this drama is far from over. Stay tuned, there are only 14 days left until the transfer window closes in the five major leagues.
