The Madrid team "Real" does not want to lose their long-time striker Karim Benzema.

The 35-year-old Frenchman is being tempted by Saudi Arabian giants and has already given verbal agreement to the "Al Ittihad" club.

In the Middle East, the veteran would earn a crazy amount of money - up to 400 million euros in two years.

Nevertheless, until the deal is officially confirmed, the club's president Florentino Perez desperately tries to keep the striker.

As journalist Santi Aouna wrote, the Spaniard promised the striker a place in the team's administration alongside a lucrative contract when the footballer finishes his professional career.

In this season's "La Liga" championship, K. Benzema scored 18 goals and made 3 assists in 23 matches.
