France international and Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema has officially announced to join Saudi Arabian champions Al-Ittihad after departing Real Madrid.

The reigning Saudi league has landed the Frenchman after he confirmed his departure from Real Madrid after fourteen years at the club.

The agreement with Benzema was swift. Saudi representatives met with the striker and his entourage in Madrid and finalized the lucrative financial offer that will tie Benzema to Al Ittihad until 2026. 

The Frenchman will play in Saudi Arabia until the age of 38. At Al Ittihad, he will link up with coach Nuno Espírito Santo and will be reunited in the league with his former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to a source report, Benzema was offered a two-year, €400 million contract by the Saudi champions.

The 2022 Ballon d'Or winner scored 354 goals for Madrid across 648 matches while earning a record 25 trophies at Madrid, consisting of four LaLiga titles, five Champions Leagues, three Copas del Rey, four Spanish Supercopas, four UEFA Super Cups and five FIFA Club World Cups.
