Is Benzema Joining the Saudi League?

French star Karim Benzema, from Real Madrid, is expected to transfer to Al Ittihad to play in the Saudi Arabian football league next season, after the player held a meeting on Wednesday with the club president Florentino Pérez. The transfer was confirmed when Benzema posted a photo on his Instagram account showing him training, along with the caption "The result is good," indicating successful negotiations. According to Spanish newspapers and websites, Benzema is inclined to accept the Saudi offer, as Al Ittihad, the league champions, has offered him 100 million euros annually to play at their stadium, "King Abdullah Sports City." Radio "Cadena SER" reported that Real Madrid's management has begun searching for a replacement, with eyes on Harry Kane, the England national team forward from Tottenham.
