Striker Karim Benzema, who is at odds with his club Al-Ittihad, has entered into negotiations to join rivals Al-Hilal, the Saudi Arabian league leaders, a source told AFP on Monday.
Negotiations are underway between the parties: Al-Hilal would like to sign Benzema for the remaining six months of his contract with Al-Ittihad, but the players agent is demanding a one-and-a-half-year contract, the source told AFP.
The French striker, the 2022 Ballon dOr winner, has scored eight goals in 14 league games this season with Al-Ittihad, but did not play in the last two matches.
