Karim Benzema leaves Al-Hilal and becomes a free agent

Karim Benzema has left Al-Hilal and is now a free agent. The information was presented as official by Seneweb and was also reported by SO FOOT.

This outcome comes as the French striker's future had already been the subject of speculation ahead of the transfer window closing. Actu Cameroun had notably raised the possibility of a departure, six months after his arrival at the club.

A situation that quickly accelerated

Before his departure was announced, several exit options had been mentioned for the 38-year-old player. However, the information provided does not specify either the terms of his separation from Al-Hilal or the destinations being considered for the next stage of his career.

Released from his contract, the 2022 Ballon d'Or winner can now sign for a new club without a transfer fee.
