After 14 trophy-laden years, Real Madrid star striker Karim Benzema will leave Bernabeu as a free agent this summer. The 35-year-old is Real’s second all-time scorer with 353 goals having joined the side at the age of 21 from Lyon in 2009.

He has won 25 trophies in Madrid which is a record number for any player at the Spanish giants signifying his importance to the side.

He also won Ballon d’Or in 2022 after almost single-handedly guiding Real to the Champions League trophy last season. The player however is now parting ways with the Spanish giants deciding to void the one-year extension clause he had in his contract.

As per rumors, he is heading toward Saudi Pro League with a rich-money move, and follow the footsteps of his former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Which team will Benzema play for in Saudi Arabia?

The French striker reportedly has received a massive offer from League winners Al-Ittihad. The team is managed by former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo. If he signs for the side, he will be the second Real Madrid star to arrive in Qatar after Cristiano Ronaldo's January move to the same league with Al-Nassr.

How much Benzema could earn at the new club?

Benzema reportedly has been offered a two-year deal with the side where he could earn up to €300m a year. The earning includes his wages and commercial aspects while he could be able to control 100% of his image rights as well. His contract proposal is almost similar to former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo who plays for Al-Ittihad's rival Al-Nassr.
