Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano announced on Monday that the deal was perfect. The Frenchman’s contract is set to run until 2025. The media had previously reported that Al-Ittihad was paying the exceptional striker 100 million euros per season.
Benzema, who officially said goodbye to Real Madrid after 14 years, is the next superstar to move to the controversial kingdom after former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo (38). In terms of sport, the Saudi Pro League is second-rate at best.
