Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah’s future at Al-Ittihad has become uncertain after his number 9 shirt was handed over to recent signing, Karim Benzema.
Speculation of his potential departure has grown following a tweet from the player, where he stated he had achieved his goals with Al Ittihad.
Karim Benzema, the former Real Madrid star, recently joined Al-Ittihad on a three-year contract, a move that involved him taking the number 9 shirt that Hamdallah had been wearing.
Reports indicate that the decision regarding Hamdallah’s future with the club lies with Al-Ittihad’s Portuguese coach, Nuno Santo. There has been no official announcement from the club or from Hamdallah about his potential departure as of yet.
However, under typical circumstances, football clubs share information regarding jersey number swaps. However, the silence from Al Ittihad, despite Abderrazak Hamdallah’s impressive record as the league’s top scorer last season, suggests a noteworthy deviation from this norm. This lack of communication seems to point in a singular direction: a potential transfer of Hamdallah to another team.
