Real Madrid striker, Karim Benzema, has taken a deal that will see the end of his career at Real Madrid, his club for the past 14 years.
The 35 year old has been linked to a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.
In a statement issued yesterday, Los Blancos said the club wants to show its gratitude and love to someone whom it considers one of its greatest legends.

The French forward joined Madrid in 2009 from Ligue 1 side Lyon, and established himself as a key player alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale in the vaunted BBC attacking trident, before developing into the team’s leader when Ronaldo left in 2018.
Benzema has won 24 trophies with Madrid, including five Champions Leagues, four La Liga titles and three Copas del Rey and is the current holder of the Ballon d’Or for the world’s best player.
He is Real Madrid’s second top scorer of all-time, with 353 goals for Madrid, behind only Ronaldo on 450.
