Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad to sign Benzema on two-year deal according to state media
Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad have reached an agreement with French striker Karim Benzema (35) to sign him on a two-year deal, Saudi state-run Al Ekhbariya television station reported on Sunday.
Benzema is set to join Al Ittihad as a free agent after Real Madrid said earlier in the day that he would leave the LaLiga club after 14 trophy-laden years.
Al Ekhbariya said Al Ittihad's chairman and vice chairman were in Madrid to hammer out a "record deal" with Benzema.
