Karim Benzema In Saudi Arabia I feel peace of mind

Karim Benzema was lured by the huge football project and the fact that Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country when he ended his impressive spell at Real Madrid and moved to Al Ittihad. This was stated by the attacker quoted by Reuters. Benzema was one of the big names who moved to the Saudi Pro League in the summer. According to various reports, he will receive over 100 million euros for his stay at Al-Ittihad, after spending 14 years in Madrid. In his new club, the French international will play with N'Golo Kante and Fabinho.

  "This football project seemed huge from the beginning and I wanted to be a part of it. I want to help the development of football in Saudi Arabia and that is also the reason I agreed to the transfer," he said in an interview with the Saudi Pro League. "Also, Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country and I was welcomed here with open arms. I instantly felt loved. I am a Muslim and I feel peace of mind here. In Saudi Arabia, football is respected and I am happy with the level of play. I was really surprised because in Europe we haven't seen many matches from this championship. Now things are changing because big names have arrived here", Benzema is happy.
