Karim Benzema has completed his move to Saudia Arabian club Al-Ittihad after leaving Real Madrid.
The 35-year-old spent 14 years with Real Madrid, winning five Champions League titles, five Club World Cups, four LaLiga titles, four UEFA Supercups, three Copas del Rey and three Spanish Super Cups as well as leaving as the second top scorer in the club’s history with 354 goals across all competitions.
The Frenchman’s exit as a free agent came amid widespread reports he was set to move to Saudi Arabia and that switch has now been confirmed, with Benzema now set to go head to head with former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo next season.
Benzema has signed a deal to 2026 and, according to reports, will earn around € 200m per year at Al-Ittihad.
