Karim Benzema, 35, has been playing for Real Madrid since the summer of 2009, but at the same time is now on an expiring contract, which expires at the end of June this summer.

Now the Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio states that it is clear that Benzema will leave the Spanish club this summer. According to the journalist, the 35-year-old has decided on it, and a press conference is expected to be held about it this afternoon.

Benzema is reported to be moving to Saudi Arabia instead.

Earlier this week, El Mundo stated that Benzema has been offered an annual salary of SEK 1.2 billion net to continue his career in Saudi Arabia.

The Frenchman has scored 353 goals and 165 assists in 647 games with Real Madrid.
