Karim Benzema leaves Al-Hilal after only six months, his future uncertain

Karim Benzema is no longer contracted to Al-Hilal after a contract termination six months following his arrival. Tensions with coach Simone Inzaghi and a controversial substitution during a match led to this separation. Al-Hilal recently signed striker Ollie Watkins, which facilitated Benzema's departure, who scored 10 goals in 16 appearances. Benzema's future may include retirement or a new challenge at another Saudi club.
