The French striker ended his career with "Los Blancos" but flew to Riyadh in Arabia to sign with a Saudi club, from which he will earn a lot of money.

As soon as the summer market has opened, clubs are rushing to make their moves on the market in terms of reinforcements for the new season, while there is also a recent trend of the best and biggest name players moving to the East. Middle, specifically in the championship of Saudi Arabia. This is of course influenced by the billions that the sheikhs of this country pay in sports, as the way for such a movement is apparently opened by Cristiano Ronaldo, currently the highest paid footballer in the world. Other world football stars are following his path quickly and without obstacles. Thus, after 14 years with the Real Madrid jersey, where he became one of the most valued players in the history of the capital city, Karim Benzema parted ways with the Spanish club. The Frenchman is expected to be active in Saudi Arabia from next season, where Cristiano Ronaldo also plays. After the formalization of the farewell from Real Madrid, the Spanish media have begun to reveal even more information about the future of the Frenchman. According to what AS reports, the intervention of the Minister of Sports also influenced Benzema's transfer to Arabia. Even, the Ballon d'Or has found a chord with the Minister, who has assured him that he will benefit from his experience in the Middle East, 200 million euros per season, and how he will become an ambassador for Arabia with the latter seeking to organize the 2030 World Cup. On the other hand, it is precisely the Minister who will determine the club that will receive Benzema's services, as the current champions of Al-Itihad are favored. The transfer of Benzema to Al-Ittihad seems like a genuine strategy since Ronaldo currently plays for Al-Nasr while the Al-Hilal club is in contact with Lionel Messi. Meanwhile, Harry Kane is the main candidate to succeed Karim Benzema after his departure from Real Madrid was made official. According to Spanish media reports, "Los Blancos" have shown interest in the Tottenham striker. Daniel Levi, the president of "Spurs", is expected to facilitate the transfer of their star to Real, to prevent Kane from going to Manchester United. However, the London club continues to demand around 100 million euros for Harry Kane, while Real is making an analysis if it is worth spending such a figure.
