After the arrival of Benzema in Saudi Arabia, the worst news that Cristiano Ronaldo received and shocks

Karim Benzema surprised everyone by confirming that he will play in Saudi Arabia next year. Although the surprise took everyone by surprise, including Florentino Pérez, the French forward is leaving for a purely economic reason. In the Middle East, the nine will earn a real fortune that puts him almost on a par with Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to the Capology outlet, which specializes in player salaries, Karim Benzema will stop earning 23 million euros a year as he did at Real Madrid to start earning 200 million euros per season. Yes, almost ten times more. His contract will be for two years and he will also be the ambassador of a possible candidacy of the Arab country to host the 2023 World Cup.

Saudi Arabia wants to invest heavily in stars to put its league on top of the first in Europe. In this framework, Karim Benzema would be the second to step foot in the Middle East after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, who also receives 200 million euros for each season in Saudi Arabia.

The other targeted

Saudi Arabia already has Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo but it does not get off and wants to have more world mega stars. Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Sergio Ramos appear in the dance of names. Although of course, all roads point to being able to stay with Lionel Messi, something that would not be so easy.
