After Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr and Argentine legend Lionel Messi’s rumoured future to the same Gulf nation, it has emerged that Real Madrid has signed for Saudi side Al-Ittihad.
Benzema, 35, has reportedly signed a three-year deal and will receive a whopping $643 million (Rs 5,000 crore approximately) for three seasons. Benzema leaves Real after netting over 350 goals and winning 24 major trophies, which include four Spanish League and five Champions League titles. Real will meanwhile go into the off-season with a need to boost its attack. Benzema, the team’s top striker in recent seasons and last year’s Ballon d’Or winner, decided this weekend that he will not be back after 14 years at the club.
His last game was Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao.
