Former Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema is moving from Al-Ittihad to Al-Hilal within the Saudi football league.
As the French sports newspaper “L’Equipe” reports, there had previously been a dispute with his previous club over a contract extension. The former Real Madrid star striker has now signed a one and a half year contract with the league leaders.
Benzema came to Saudi Arabia in 2023, which was one of the most notable transfers in league history. At Al-Ittihad, the goalscorer scored 54 goals in 83 games over two and a half seasons and won the championship last season.
He could now do this again with Al-Hilal, where he will meet well-known teammates such as Darwin Nunez, Theo Hernandez and Kalidou Koulibaly.
