In Saudi Arabia they already take the arrival of Benzema Al Ittihad for granted. This Thursday the Saudi state television has confirmed the information advanced by AS on Thursday, according to which the French striker is about to leave Real Madrid to go to the Arab league. In the information of the public television of Saudi Arabia it is announced that the French forward has already accepted the offer of Al Ittihad and only his signature would be missing so that the agreement can be made official. As reported by As, The agreement will be for the next two seasons and the French forward will receive a salary of more than 100 million dollars net for each of them.
Curiously, the announcement on Saudi state television came just a few minutes after the striker did not want to clarify his future at a Marca event in which he was honored this Thursday. The striker limited himself to responding ambiguously. “Are you going to stay at Real Madrid?” a girl asked him directly. Benzema responded lukewarmly: “For the moment I’m here, I enjoy every day, I train well and there’s a game this Saturday (on Sunday, against Athletic),” said the Frenchman.
As soon as his goodbye to Real Madrid is officially confirmed, the French striker will put an end to 14 seasons as a white player. As a Real Madrid player, he has played 647 games, scored 353 goals and provided 165 assists.
