Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has dropped a major bombshell after revealing shocking developments in the winter transfer market regarding French star Karim Benzema’s potential move to Al Hilal, in a deal that could be finalized in the final hours of the window.
According to Romano, Benzema has already agreed to Al Hilal’s proposal, with final negotiations ongoing between Al Hilal and Al Ittihad to obtain the green light to complete the transfer before the winter deadline.
The source confirmed that talks have reached very advanced stages amid positive signals from all parties involved, opening the door for a historic deal that could reshape the balance of power in the Saudi Pro League.
These developments come after a period of tension between Benzema and Al Ittihad’s management due to technical and administrative issues, accelerating the idea of his departure, while Al Hilal look to seize the opportunity to reinforce their squad with a world-class star.
If completed, Benzema’s move to Al Hilal would be one of the most sensational transfers of the winter window, not only in Saudi football but globally—especially as it comes on deadline day, backed by one of the most reliable sources in the transfer market.
