Real Madrid has officially announced that Karim Benzema, the veteran striker, will be leaving the club at the end of the season, marking the conclusion of his remarkable 14-year tenure with the Spanish giants.

According to reports from Reuters, the 35-year-old has reached an agreement with Al-Ittihad, the reigning champions of the Saudi Pro League. The team is currently managed by former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo, and Benzema is set to sign a two-year contract with them.

Benzema, who initially joined Real Madrid from his hometown club Lyon in 2009, has left an indelible mark during his time at the club. With an impressive 657 appearances and a staggering 353 goals to his name, he has been a key figure in the team’s success.

During the current season, Benzema has been in fine form, featuring in 42 matches across all competitions and scoring 30 goals while also providing six assists. Although he did not participate in Real Madrid’s recent 2-1 victory over Sevilla on May 27, there is a possibility that he may make a final appearance for the club in their last league match of the season against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday night.

Throughout his illustrious career at Real Madrid, Benzema has won LaLiga on four occasions and lifted the prestigious Champions League trophy five times, establishing himself as one of the most decorated players during his time in the Spanish capital.

The Glazers era at Manchester United is coming to an end, and the club’s new owners may be extremely wealthy.

A top source, The Athletic, claims that Amazon has recently expressed interest in purchasing the Red Devils.

The tech giants clearly care about European football because they paid £30 million a year for the rights to broadcast the Premier League.

However, a significant impediment to a potential sale is still the Glazers’ asking price. At the moment, the American family is requesting at least £6 billion.
