The worst news that Lionel Messi received and that benefits Cristiano Ronaldo in Arabia

It seems incredible, but Real Madrid has already publicly announced that Karim Benzema will no longer be one of its players. The French forward will leave after being in the Merengue squad for 14 years. Benzema arrived in 2009 in exchange for 35 million euros, a very low figure for everything he gave.

When it seemed that the striker was renewing his relationship with the white team, Karim surprised everyone with his decision. His contract ends when the season ends, that is, on June 30. It will not be the only loss that Madrid has because Eden Hazard, Marco Asensio and Mariano Díaz will also leave as free agents.

After making the decision not to continue in the capital, Benzema already has a new club as rumored and he will travel to Saudi Arabia to end his career with a multimillion-dollar salary. Al-Ittihad has put a contract on the table for two seasons, at a rate of 100 million euros free of taxes for each of them.

Good for Ronaldo, bad for Messi

In Arabia he will meet again with Cristiano Ronaldo, who finalized his transfer to Al-Nassr last January, also signing an even better contract than the Frenchman. Karim will travel to Arabia this week to meet with what will be his new club, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, and the official announcement of his signing could take place on Wednesday. Why is it bad for Lionel Messi? Saudi Arabia was desperate to sign one of the best in the world, be it Messi, Benzema, Sergio Ramos or Luka Modric. Now, after signing Karim Benzema, the offer for Lionel Messi will no longer be as juicy.
