Karim Benzema has reportedly received a huge contract offer from Saudi Arabia as the country look to use superstars to boost their 2030 World Cup bid.
Despite enjoying a strong season, Benzema is reportedly becoming increasingly uneasy at Real Madrid. Within the Frenchman’s contract is an unwritten ‘Ballon d’Or clause’, which extends his contract with Los Balncos by a year and was triggered when he was awarded the coveted trophy in late 2022. He is, however, yet to publicly commit his future to the club.
AS are reporting that Benzema, alongside seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, has been offered a mega-money contract by a Saudi Arabian club in an attempt to strengthen the nation’s 2030 World Cup hopes. The contract offered to Benzema is said to be in excess of €400 million (£346m/$439m) over two seasons and would involve him being paid as an ambassador for the World Cup bid in the future.
