The latest player to make a move to the Arab nation is Real Madrid’s former player, Karim Benzema. The French International explained his reason for joining the club in his first interview as an Al-Ittihad player.
Al Ittihad is a new challenge for me. It’s a good league and there are many good players. Cristiano Ronaldo is already here, he is a friend who shows that Saudi Arabia is starting to get ahead and I am here to win as I did in Europe.
