Al-Hilal doesn't want Benzema either!

Karim Benzema is set to leave Al-Hilal, with Sky Sports reporting that the French forward will depart the Saudi club as a free agent.

Move away from Riyadh

The report says Al-Hilal are willing to let Benzema go after he failed to meet expectations during his spell at the club. It also claims the Saudi side want to replace him with a high-profile, expensive striker this summer.

Benzema’s next destination has already been mentioned. Al-Ahli are being linked with the former France striker, who appears likely to continue his career in Saudi Arabia for now.

The source also says Benzema can choose his next club freely after leaving Al-Hilal.
