According to an authority proclamation, Madrid said that the two players consented to a shared end of Benzema's agreement toward the end of this current month, implying that Sunday's match against Athletic Club will be the Frenchman's last debut in the Madrid white jersey.
During his time at Madrid, Benzema won 25 trophies, securing himself as one of the best players in the club's history. This included five Champions League titles, five LaLiga titles, and three Copa del Rey crowns.
In an explanation delivered upon the arrival of their coordinator with Athletic Club, Madrid said:
"Madrid C. F., what's more, our captain, Karim Benzema, has consented to stop his splendid and remarkable time as a player at our club.
"Madrid might want to show appreciation and love to the man, who is perhaps now our most important legend.
"Karim Benzema joined our club in 2009, at only 21 years old, and has been a central part in this brilliant time of our set of experiences. During the fourteen seasons in which he has protected our identification and our shirt, he has brought home 25 championships, a record number for Madrid: 5 European Cups, 5 Club World Cups, 4 European Super Cups, 4 Associations, 3 Copa del Reys, and 4 Spanish Super Cups."
The second-most elevated scorer in Madrid history
Benzema has played multiple times for Madrid and, in well north of 10 years in the Spanish capital, turned into the club's second-most noteworthy top scorer ever with 353 objectives.
The club will say goodbye to the 35-year-old on Tuesday, June 6.
On Tuesday, Genuine Madrid will hold an institutional demonstration of respect and say goodbye to Benzema, with Florentino Perez available to honor the 35-year-old.
Benzema is supposed to move to Al-Ittihad, having gotten a mammoth agreement offer from the Saudi club recently. Nonetheless, there will unquestionably be a great deal of trouble from Madridistas now that he is leaving Genuine Madrid.
