According to the French sports newspaper "L'Equipe", there had previously been a dispute with his previous club over a contract extension. The former Real Madrid star striker has now signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with the league leaders, where he will play alongside well-known team-mates such as Darwin Nunez, Theo Hernandez and Kalidou Koulibaly.
Benzema came to Saudi Arabia in 2023. He scored 54 goals in 83 games for Al-Ittihad. He won the league title with the team last season.
