What team will Karim Benzema play for after departing Real Madrid?
Karim Benzema seemed to have quickly picked his next team when it was reported that he would be leaving Real Madrid. Al-Ittihad, a club headquartered in the seaside city of Jeddah, is where Benzema is anticipated to sign, according to Saudi Arabia’s state television network Al-Ekhbariya. The contract is said to be a “record” and would reportedly last for two seasons.
The current Saudi Arabian champions, Al-Ittihad, and Karim Benzema are said to have signed a formal deal. The club’s president and his deputy are in Madrid to complete the deal, according to Saudi official television station Al-Ekhbariya. The contract, which is rumored to be for two seasons, demonstrates the club’s desire to improve their offensive capability.
Al-Ittihad defeated Al-Nassr, the team connected to Cristiano Ronaldo, to win the Saudi Arabian championship. The acquisition of Benzema will significantly improve the team’s offensive capacity. In order to compete at the top level, the club wants to build on their previous success.
Karim Benzema’s exit from Real Madrid was formally confirmed, capping his time with the Spanish team. The French striker, who spent 14 seasons with Los Blancos, departs a storied history after winning 25 titles at the Bernabeu.
