Al-Hilal has officially confirmed the termination of the contract with French striker Karim Benzema. The 38-year-old player is departing the Saudi Arabian club just six months after completing his transfer, leaving him a free agent. Benzema is reportedly evaluating his options for the remainder of his career, with two primary paths being considered: a potential return to French football or continuing his professional playing career with another club within Saudi Arabia.
According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, the possibility of Benzema returning to European football has been ruled out. The announcement marks a significant development for the player, whose career has been defined by his time at Real Madrid. During his tenure with the Spanish giant, Benzema achieved considerable success, scoring 354 goals, winning five Champions League titles, and securing the Ballon d’Or award in 2022.
The termination of his deal with Al-Hilal means that his immediate future remains undecided. While the club has finalized the separation, the focus now shifts to where Benzema will continue to play. Sources indicate that the decision will likely weigh the established infrastructure of Saudi football against the possibility of a final chapter in European leagues, though current reports suggest the latter is improbable.
