Saudi Arabia double offer for Benzema: €400m on table

The days are passing and Karim Benzema's future is drifting further and further away from Real Madrid, considering his contract is up in June. If there was some sort of automatic renewal clause in his contract for winning the Ballon d'Or, neither the club nor the player have annnouced so.

Yesterday, 'Relevo' reported a €200m offer from a Saudi Arabian side for the Madrid star, which would have seen him earn €100 million for each of the two seasons he would be there.

On Tuesday, 'AS' claimed that this initial figure had been doubled.

The club in question, whose name has not yet been revealed, are thought to have promised the number 9 a contract rising to €400 million for two seasons as well as a role as an ambassador for the World Cup 2030 if he went there.
