We agree, maybe the main reason Benzema is willing to accept Al Ittihad's offer is the fantastic salary, at the end of his career in football. besides that, Benzema has an interest if we refer based on his beliefs. so, I wouldn't doubt if Benzema can adapt well, in fact it looks like Benzema will achieve chemistry quickly with his new club. because, culturally, he knows very well the conditions of the Saudi Pro League. and, most likely if Benzema will be a tough competitor in terms of scoring goals in this competition. thus, there will be tough competition between the two former stars who have both played for the Real Madrid club. looks like this league will be more interesting. in fact, it is not impossible, if Al Shabab, Al Hilal, Al Ahli, will bring in other stars to enliven this increasingly competitive competition. although, basically their goal is nothing but promoting Saudi itself in the eyes of the world. at least, we have a new spectacle besides the European league competition. unfortunately, Messi prefers MLS rather than enlivening the trend to this competition.
In one factor, Benzema's belief was the thing that made him interested in playing in the Saudi Arabian league. Apart from that, in terms of age and salary, the offer is a second choice for him to play in an easier league due to the aging factor. Also another thing is the existence of the figure of Ronaldo, who is likely for him to be one of the challenges to accept this offer.
Al ittihad are the reigning champions this season and they seem to be continuing to make changes in the squad to increase their strength for next season. With the arrival of kante and Benzema I think they are relatively strong next season even Al nassr will most likely find it difficult to stop Al ittihad in the next season. There are still a lot of players who are likely to join the SPL this season.
