"Al-Hilal have said there is "so much done" and "more to come" after Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema marked his arrival at the Saudi Pro League giants with a video message to fans. Benzema - the recipient of the most prestigious individual prize in football in 2022 - signed for the top-flight leaders on Monday, coinciding with Cristiano Ronaldo missing an Al-Nassr game amid reports suggesting the Portugal captain is disgruntled by his club's lack of transfer activity."
"Al-Nassr manager Jorge Jesus, who led them to a 10-match unbeaten start in the Saudi Pro League, will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of his first season in charge because of "current circumstances that make it difficult to meet his technical demands", according to Al-Riyadh. The outlet said that negotiations remain stalled on two transfers the Portuguese requested at the start of January."
"Benzema turned down a new deal at Al-Ittihad, with whom the 38-year-old won last season's Saudi Pro League and King's Cup, in favour of joining Al-Hilal, who are a point above Al-Nassr at the summit after 19 matches of the 34-game season. "Big name," Al-Hilal said in a social media post, sharing photos of Benzema posing in a club scarf. "Big ambitions.""
