Here Is The Easy Money-Making Trick Everyone Is Talking About! Learn More Here!

Karim Benzema, the former Real Madrid striker, was recently unveiled as a player for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.

The event was attended by thousands of fans and featured fireworks and flame-throwers.

Benzema, wearing the team’s black and yellow kit with the number nine, was greeted with a giant ‘KB9’ emblazoned on the pitch in bright lights.

The Frenchman joins Cristiano Ronaldo as the latest superstar to join the Saudi Pro League, which has a hit-list of high-profile targets.

Benzema expressed his excitement to play and win more silverware with the Saudi champions.

Saudi Arabia has been on a buying spree of sports assets as part of plans to diversify its economy and attract tourism and investment.

The conservative monarchy bought English club Newcastle United in 2021 and took controlling stakes in four clubs, including Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr, this week.

Supporters created a festive atmosphere at the unveiling, waving yellow flags and placards saying “BENZEMA 9” and “Je t’aime BENZEMA” (I love you, BENZEMA – in French).
