Karim Benzema has officially joined Al-Hilal, marking one of the biggest moves in the Saudi Pro League this season. The 2022 Ballon d’Or winner makes the switch after leaving Al-Ittihad, moving directly to league leaders Al-Hilal on deadline day.
The former Real Madrid striker signed a one-and-a-half-year contract, bringing his world-class experience, leadership, and goal-scoring power to Riyadh. This transfer has already sparked huge excitement among fans, especially with Al-Hilal pushing to maintain their dominance in the league.
Benzema didn’t waste any time settling in. The French star has already taken part in his first training session with Al-Hilal. He is showing sharpness and focus as he prepares for his next chapter. Supporters are eager to see how he fits into the squad and what he can add to an already strong attacking lineup.
Al-Hilal also strengthened their team by signing Saïmon Bouabr, adding young talent alongside Benzema’s experience. The club continues to show serious ambition by balancing proven stars with emerging players as they aim for success locally and regionally.
With Benzema now wearing blue, expectations are high. Fans are counting down to his first appearance, hoping he’ll deliver the same magic that made him one of the most respected strikers in football history.
One thing is clear: Al-Hilal just raised the bar, and the Saudi Pro League just got even more exciting.
