Karim Benzema left for Saudi Arabia, Eder Militao, the Real Madrid defender, sees Vinicius as the worthy successor to the Frenchman in attack.
Last June, Karim Benzema surprised his world by joining the Saudi club Al-Ittihad. After nineteen years spent in Europe, including fourteen at Real Madrid, the Ballon d’Or 2022 gave in to the Saudi siren song, and offered itself a golden exile, no doubt well deserved. The departure of the former Lyonnais from Santiago Bernbéu is nonetheless unexpected, as his former teammate in Madrid, Eder Militao, hinted.
