Karim Benzema will leave the Madrid "Real" team.

"Foot Mercato" journalist Santi Aouna announces that Karim Benzema has decided to move to the "Al-Ittihad" team.

This French decision surprised the "Real" management. As a result, the club's plans for this summer will change, adds Santi Aouna.

Last year after a fantastic season, K. Benzema won the "Golden Ball" and was the top scorer in the victorious "Real" season in the Champions League.

In this "La Liga" season, the 35-year-old striker scored 18 goals and made 3 assists. He is the second top scorer in Spain.

The Frenchman joined the "Real" club in the summer of 2009 along with Alvaro Arbeloa, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kaka.
