The offer includes a two-year contract with an annual salary of 200 million euros, in addition to substantial bonuses and financial incentives.
Sources confirmed that Benzema has expressed his admiration for the offer and intends to accept it within the coming days, thus moving to the Saudi Professional League in a shocking deal that shakes the foundations of European football.
Details of the Anticipated Deal
Al-Ittihad is expected to pay 50 million euros as compensation to Real Madrid for terminating Benzema’s contract, which extends until 2023. The player will also receive a monthly salary of up to 25 million euros, in addition to incentives worth up to 100 million euros, should he achieve certain goals and accomplishments with the Saudi team.
Reports indicated that Benzema will become the highest-paid player in the world, surpassing major stars like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mixed Reactions
The anticipated deal has sparked mixed reactions in global sports circles. On one hand, Anmar Al-Haili, President of Al-Ittihad, expressed his great happiness at Benzema’s imminent joining of the team, considering it “a historic achievement for Saudi football.”
Al-Haili said in press statements: “We are proud of our ability to attract global stars to the Saudi League, which confirms the prestigious position our league has reached, and contributes to raising the level of competition and excitement.”
On the other hand, Real Madrid expressed its sadness at losing one of its most prominent stars in recent years. Club President Florentino Perez said in an official statement: “We thank Karim Benzema for the wonderful years he spent with us and the great achievements he accomplished. We wish him success in his next career.”
Benzema’s Achievements with Real Madrid
Benzema began his journey with Real Madrid in 2009, coming from Lyon, and since then has delivered distinguished performances with the royal team, contributing to achieving many titles and accomplishments.
During the 12 seasons he spent with Real Madrid, Benzema succeeded in scoring 303 goals in 595 matches in all competitions, becoming the second-best scorer in the club’s history after Raul Gonzalez.
Benzema also won 25 titles with Real Madrid, including 5 Champions League titles, 4 La Liga titles, 1 Copa del Rey title, 3 FIFA Club World Cup titles, 1 UEFA Super Cup title, and 4 Spanish Super Cup titles.
Last season, Benzema led his team to win the Champions League title for the 14th time in the club’s history, after scoring 15 goals in the tournament, and won the Best Player in Europe award from the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).
A New Beginning in Saudi Arabia
It seems that Benzema, who is 35 years old, wants to embark on a new challenge in his professional career and take advantage of the golden opportunity offered by the Saudi League, both materially and technically.
Benzema is expected to sign a two-year contract with Al-Ittihad, with an annual salary of 200 million euros, in addition to substantial bonuses and financial incentives.
Benzema will join Al-Ittihad’s ranks starting next season, where he will wear the number 9 shirt and will be one of the team’s most prominent stars seeking to compete for local and continental titles.
Al-Ittihad finished last season in third place in the Saudi League with 58 points, 4 points behind league leaders and champions Al-Hilal, and one point behind runner-up Al-Nassr.
The Deal’s Impact on Saudi Football

The deal will also increase the popularity of Saudi football worldwide and enhance the national team’s chances of competing for continental and international titles.
The Saudi League has witnessed the presence of some global stars in recent years, such as Italian Andrea Pirlo, Cameroonian Samuel Eto’o, Colombian Radamel Falcao, Spanish David Villa, and others.

“Hafit Challenge” Sweeps Social Media in Saudi Arabia

A new challenge has swept social media platforms in Saudi Arabia under the hashtag “#تحدي_حفيت” (Challenge of Shaving). Participants film themselves using sharp tools to completely shave their heads. This challenge has gained significant popularity, especially among Saudi youth, with many celebrities and social media activists taking part.

The “Shaving Challenge” began spreading in Saudi Arabia about a week ago, with some Saudi youths posting videos of themselves using razor blades or other sharp tools to shave their heads completely. The challenge quickly gained traction, particularly on the “TikTok” platform, where thousands of Saudis and Saudi women posted videos participating in the challenge.

Several Saudi celebrities and activists participated in the challenge, posting videos of themselves completely shaving their heads. Among the most prominent participants was Saudi fashionista Model Roz, who posted a video that garnered millions of views.

The challenge received significant interaction from Saudis, with many expressing their admiration for it and participating, while others criticized it, considering it a dangerous challenge that could cause physical harm to participants.

In this context, Dr. Fahd Al-Osaimi, a professor of sociology at King Saud University, said: “The Shaving Challenge is the latest trend in social media challenges sweeping the world, reflecting young people’s desire to attract attention and break routine. However, it also carries health and psychological risks.”

Al-Osaimi added: “Parents and schools should educate youth about the risks of such challenges and the necessity of not being drawn into them without thinking about the consequences.”

Dr. Khalid Al-Amri, a consultant dermatologist, said: “Using sharp tools to shave hair can cause wounds and scratches on the scalp, and may lead to serious skin infections if the tools are not properly sterilized.”

Al-Amri added: “I advise young people not to participate in such dangerous challenges and to seek safe and healthy entertainment methods.”

Conclusion: It seems that the “Shaving Challenge” will continue to spread in the coming period, especially with the participation of a large number of celebrities and activists. However, youth should be cautious and not be drawn into such dangerous challenges without thinking about the health and psychological consequences. Parents and schools should also play a role in educating youth about the risks of such challenges and the necessity of seeking safe and healthy entertainment methods.

New Study Reveals: 15 Minutes of Daily Movement Can Extend Lifespan

A recent scientific study conducted by researchers at King Saud University’s College of Medicine revealed that even 15 minutes of daily physical activity can significantly impact overall health and longevity.

The researchers found that individuals who engage in moderate physical activity for 15 minutes daily, such as brisk walking or light household chores, have up to a 14% lower risk of premature death compared to those who remain completely sedentary.

Dr. Abdullah Al-Mahna, head of the research team, explained that “the results confirm that exercise is not limited to gyms or intense workouts, but even simple daily movement has a significant positive impact on health.”

The study included over 5,000 participants from various age groups in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, and lasted for two years. Researchers used movement-tracking devices to accurately measure physical activity levels.

This study comes within the framework of national efforts to promote healthy lifestyles, as the Ministry of Health recently launched the “15 Minutes Changes Your Life” campaign to encourage citizens to engage in daily physical activity.

Previous studies had linked sedentary behavior to increased risks of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, but this Saudi study is the first of its kind in the Kingdom to demonstrate the benefits of even simple movement.

It’s worth noting that the World Health Organization recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week, but this Saudi study shows that even less than that can make a difference.

These findings are good news for those who struggle with time constraints or difficulty adhering to intensive exercise programs, as they prove that good health requires only a little regular daily movement.
