Benzema on the Brink: Could He Don Al Hilal in the Saudi Clasico?

Rumors swirl as Benzema eyes Al Hilal debut in key Clasico

Reliable sources say French star Karim Benzema, captain of Al-Ittihad Jeddah, has agreed to join Al Hilal until the season's end, a move that would shake up the Saudi league and fans alike.

The timing is tied to tonight's high-stakes clash between Al Hilal and Al Ahli, the 20th round fixture in the Roshen Saudi Pro League.

On the matter, Abdulrahim Jizawi, a former player for Al Nassr and Al Ahli, told the Saudi show Dawri Ghair: "If Benzema signs and all details are finalized, he could be eligible to play in tonight's Clasico."

He added that the French striker would probably start if the deal is officially completed, giving the team a much-needed edge up front.

Analysts say Benzema's arrival would be a game-changer for the Riyadh-based giants, who have been searching for a true number nine to lead the line.

Note: The article's stance remains speculative until formal confirmation arrives, but the buzz is loud enough to rattle the transfer market.

Punchline 1: If Benzema signs, even the ball might start playing defense to keep up with the drama.

Punchline 2: The transfer window is turning into a soap opera—with subtitles in Riyadh and a dramatic cliffhanger at halftime.
