Karim Benzema has decided to end his glittering 14-year spell with Real Madrid and will join Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad, according to ESPN’s Julien Laurens and Alex Kirkland.
The French striker has won the Champions League five times, four La Liga titles, three Copa del Reys, and various other trophies, including five Club World Cups since joining Real Madrid from Lyon in 2009.
The 35-year-old, whose contract at the Santiago Bernabeu expires on June 30, tried to play down reports of his impending departure during an awards ceremony Thursday.
“Why do I need to talk about my future? I am at Real Madrid. Not everything that you read on the internet is reality,” he said, per ESPN. “For the time being I’m here. I’m enjoying my time. There is a game on Saturday, and I train tomorrow.”
