The departure of Karim Benzema from Real Madrid revolutionized the summer transfer market. The French forward surprised with his decision because he was not in Florentino Pérez's plans to lose a player of his caliber. Now, the white team will have to find a replacement for him next season.
Benzema will play for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia in exchange for 200 million euros per season. A figure similar to that received by Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. The Portuguese player was one of the most sought after by the news of his ex-partner, because now they will be rivals in the same league and will meet again after several seasons.
“I knew that going to Arabia was going to open the box. I was not wrong. And I am sure that in 2 or 3 years, the Arab League will be one of the most important in the world and it is being seen. Karim went there, but I'm sure many more will go there”, declared CR7, at an event held in Madrid to present his new brand of alkaline water.
The best player in the world for Cristiano:
Cristiano Ronaldo chose the best player in the world, however, he is not who the fans were thinking. "I am the best player in history, in good times and in bad times. I respect everyone's preferences, but I don't see anyone better than me"
