The 36-year-old footballer explained why he left Spain's most prestigious club:
– “Why did I leave Real? Because I achieved all my goals there. I came to Real as a young boy and now I leave it as a holder of several trophies and the Ballon d'Or. Through this team, all my dreams came true,” said Benzema.
Karim Benzema joined Al-Ittihad as a free agent. His contract will last until the summer of 2026.
