A Spanish report confirmed that Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is close to reaching an agreement to move to Saudi club Al-Ittihad. The newspaper "AS" – close to Real Madrid – that the agreement between Benzema and the Union is imminent.
Benzema's contract with Real Madrid expires next month, and he was on the cusp of extending it for an additional season, but it seems that the Saudi offer will hasten the departure of the Algerian-born player from the "royal" club.
