Karim Benzema has reportedly denied claims that he wants a move away from Saudi giants Al-Ittihad, according to reports.
On Tuesday, reports from France claimed that the former Real Madrid striker had requested to leave the club after feeling 'under pressure' at Al-Ittihad.
According to AFP, in response, Al-Ittihad offered to loan the striker 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'.
However, new reports from France now claim that the forward has not made any such request and instead 'wants players of his calibre'.
