Prince Alwaleed bin Talal funds Karim Benzema transfer to Al Hilal | OneFootball

Al Hilal’s board, chaired by His Highness Prince Nawaf bin Saad, has thanked His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz, a Golden Member, for funding the full value of Karim Benzema’s transfer. The French player has signed for the first team, the club said in a statement.

The board described the gesture as a generous initiative that underlines his ongoing commitment to the club’s leadership and excellence at all levels.

He has already covered the full value of seven transfers completed by Al Hilal during the 2025/2026 winter transfer window.

The latest backing was framed as a continuation of decades of support and historical contributions to the club.

His sustained and influential support is seen as an incentive to work harder across the club to satisfy Al Hilal’s fans and pursue their ambitions in all competitions and tournaments.
