French legend Karim Benzema is set to join Al Hilal this summer, moving from current Saudi Pro League champions Al Ittihad, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed.
"Benzema signs as a new player for Al Hilal from Al Ittihad – HERE WE GO!" Romano wrote on X.
The former Ballon d'Or winner is leaving Al Ittihad to join coach Inzaghi’s project at Al Hilal immediately.
