OFFICIAL: Benzema decides to leave Real Madrid

Karim Benzema's continuity at Real Madrid has been uncertain throughout this season. The Frenchman has been tempted by several clubs as his current contract expires in June 2023.
The striker has decided not to renew his contract despite a few months in which it seemed that Carlo Ancelotti had convinced the 35-year-old to stay for one more season.
There are several rumours about his new destination but he has recently been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia to follow in the footsteps of his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who signed for Al Nassr in December.
The former Lyon footballer has an offer from Saudi Arabia which he reportedly spoke to Florentino Perez about on Wednesday. Benzema revealed at the press conference that his time at Madrid has been the best of his life but that he has decided to take on a new challenge.
The 2022 Ballon d'Or winner has scored 353 goals in 647 competitive matches for the Spanish side and will always be a Real Madrid legend.
