🚨 Major bust-up with his club, media: Benzema move is a done deal! | OneFootball

At the impressive age of 38, a new adventure is beginning once again for Karim Benzema. According to transfer journalists Fabrice Hawkins and Fabrizio Romano, who are reporting in agreement, the Frenchman is transferring within the Saudi Pro League.

Benzema, who is currently still under contract with Al-Ittihad, will soon sign with Al-Hilal. The trigger for this transfer is an offer for a contract extension from Al-Ittihad, which the world star reportedly found disrespectful.

Had he extended his contract, the striker would have had to continue playing almost for free. In addition, he was threatened with the loss of his image rights.

As a result, Benzema lost the desire to play for his club and feverishly searched for a new team.

It now appears he has found one with Al-Hilal. In the Saudi capital Riyadh, the veteran will, among other things, meet coach Simone Inzaghi, who led Inter to the Champions League final twice.
