Karim Benzema appears to be in limbo over his future and will remain at Real Madrid until his contract expires or if he accepts a huge offer from Saudi Arabian League champions Al-Ittihad Club. In the summer of 2024, he therefore sought the help of his old colleague Cristiano Ronaldo and asked him for advice.

Benzema has automatically renewed his contract with the Spanish Cup champions until the end of next season, but that won’t stop him from leaving the club, which could happen last week, especially given the Saudi’s biggest offer of €400m, according to reports. For two seasons, but he returned in the last two days and wanted to stay at Madrid until the end of his contract.

The French striker contacted Ronaldo and asked him about life in Saudi Arabia and the environment of the league there last January for a fee of 200 million euros a year until the summer of 2025. .

The newspaper said that the Portuguese star strongly encouraged Benzema to accept Al-Ittihad’s offer and move to the Saudi league, assuring him that he would live a very happy life in the Kingdom and enjoy everyone’s admiration and attention.

Al-Ittihad won the league this season, at the expense of Al-Nasr, who lost the race despite Ronaldo joining him in the winter transfer market, and notably failed to qualify for the Super and King Cup finals.
