Jeddah-based club Al-Ittihad officially confirmed that the Ballon d'Or winner from Real Madrid Karim Benzema has signed a three-year deal and will be joining Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.
Benzema will join his former Real Madrid teammate Ronaldo in the Gulf kingdom after the five-time world player of the year moved to Al Nassr from Manchester United following last year's World Cup.
Benzema joined Madrid in 2009 from Ligue 1 side Lyon.
He has lifted five Champions Leagues, four La Liga titles and three Copas del Rey with Madrid.
Al-Ittihad, from the port city of Jeddah, won its first Saudi league title since 2009 last month after overhauling Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr from the capital city of Riyadh, which had led for much of the season.
