Official announcement (updated)

Karim Benzema, who joined Real Madrid in 2009 at the age of 22 from Olympique Lyon, has made the difficult decision to depart from Los Blancos to join Al-Ittihad. Benzema's journey at Real Madrid was not without its challenges, initially having to share playing time with Gonzalo Higuain. However, with Higuain's departure in 2013, Benzema emerged as a dominant force in the forward position, forming an iconic trio known as BBC alongside Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.

During his remarkable 14-year tenure with Real Madrid, Benzema achieved extraordinary success, capturing an impressive array of titles. His trophy cabinet boasts five UEFA Champions League triumphs, four Spanish league titles, five Club World Cup victories, three Copa del Rey wins, four UEFA Super Cup conquests, and three Supercopa de Espana triumphs. Individually, Benzema's brilliance was duly recognized as he secured numerous accolades, including the prestigious Ballon d'Or for the 2021/2022 season and the title of Europe's Best Football Player of the Year in 2022. Furthermore, he was honored as the best player of the season in La Liga on two occasions (2019/2020 and 2021/2022), clinching the title of Real Madrid's best player for the seasons 2015/2016, 2018/2019, 2019/2020, and 2021/2022. His scoring prowess was truly remarkable, as he claimed the top scorer titles in both the UEFA Champions League (2021/2022, with 15 goals) and La Liga (2021/2022, with 27 goals). Notably, Benzema cemented his legacy at Real Madrid by becoming the club's second-highest scorer in history, finding the net an astonishing 354 times, and making the fifth-most appearances with 649 games played.

As Benzema bids farewell to his beloved club, Real Madrid faithfully express their heartfelt gratitude for the 14 unforgettable years he has dedicated to the team. His immense contributions, exceptional skills, and unwavering commitment have left an indelible mark on the club's history. The fans wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors, eagerly anticipating the day they will reunite once again.

Benzema to leave Real

Karim Benzema, leaves Real. I am not crying you are.

When the news broke, I couldn’t believe it. Karim Benzema after 14 seasons, will be leaving Real Madrid. French striker Benzema has won everything that a player could win in club football. Signed in the summer of 2009, alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, the former Lyon man would outlast them both. Benzema, for a large part of his time in Spain, wonderfully played a supporting…

LONDON and RIYADH (The New York Times) — The lists have been drawn up and the financing secured. Saudi Arabia is looking to lure some of the world’s best known soccer players to join Cristiano Ronaldo in its national league. And to close the deals, it is relying on money, the one commodity it knows it can offer more of than any of its rival leagues.

Similar in ambition to the Saudi-financed campaign to dominate golf through the new LIV series, the plan appears to be a centralized effort — supported at the highest levels in Saudi Arabia, and financed by the kingdom’s huge sovereign wealth fund — to turn the country’s domestic league, a footnote on the global soccer stage, into a destination for top talent.

To make that happen, Saudi clubs are already approaching players receptive to moving to the kingdom with some of the highest annual salaries in sports history. The deals could require in excess of $1 billion for wages for some 20 foreign players.

Cristiano Ronaldo, a five-time world player of the year, has led the way. He joined the Saudi club Al-Nassr after the 2022 World Cup, in a deal reported to be worth $200 million per season. Last month, Al-Nassr narrowly missed out on the league championship on the penultimate week of the season, but for those running the Saudi league Ronaldo’s presence alone was a victory in that it ensured unprecedented attention on the country’s top division, the Saudi Premier League.
