Fabrizio Romano has officially announced that Karim Benzema has completed a transfer to a top Premier League club this evening!

In the summer of 2023, Karim Benzema made a significant move from Real Madrid to Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, signing a reported three-year contract worth £172 million per year.

Recent reports suggest potential unease in his new surroundings, but any departure would require authorization from Al Ittihad’s coach, sporting director, and Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Sport, adding complexity to the situation.

Despite rumors, Benzema has not officially communicated any desire to leave, dismissing speculation as “completely false” in an interview with L’Equipe.

The financial aspect, coupled with interest from clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal, adds complexity to his potential move.
