Done Deal: Reactions As Former Madrid Captain Benzema Joins Al Ittihad In Saudi Arabia

It’s no longer news that many players across Europe are currently without a club. Players like Angel Di Maria, Eden Hazard, Marcus Asensio, and Inigo Martinez have all been released by their teams.

On the other hand, just a few days after the announcement of his exit from Real Madrid, Karim Benzema moved to Saudi Arabia. The former Real Madrid captain joined Al Ittihad on a two-year with an option to extend by a season, and the deal was worth a lot of money.

Well, recall that Karim Benzema spent a lot of seasons at Real Madrid, where he won many European and domestic titles. He also won several individual awards and would be looking forward to competing against Cristiano Ronaldo next season.

On the other hand, this move has stirred many reactions online as many fans expressed their surprise at the worth of Karim Benzema’s move, while others noted Ronaldo’s influence. Similarly, some fans fear that some younger players might become attracted to the league by getting attractive offers.
