The former France international’s contract with the Saudi champions is understood to be for two years, with the option of a further season.

Benzema received a huge salary offer to join Al-Ittihad, who beat Al-Nassr, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, to the title last month. Lionel Messi is also wanted in Saudi Arabia and has been offered more than £350m a year by Al-Hilal. The forward has spent 14 seasons with Real Madrid, winning 25 major trophies.
