We can’t be happy he is going, but we have to respect his decision. What he has done at this club is legendary and unforgettable.”
Benzema, who has won five Champions League titles and La Liga on four occasions, seems to be set to play in Saudi Arabia, where former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo has moved.
