The Benzema saga has taken an unexpected turn. While his move to Al-Hilal seemed to be well on track, the transfer is now on hold — and Cristiano Ronaldo’s influence is said to be carrying serious weight. So what exactly is happening in Saudi Arabia?
There are departures in every direction, and Cristiano Ronaldo is even refusing to play with his club. Chaos is brewing in the Saudi Pro League. And CR7, in particular, is also getting involved in the transfer dealings of other players.
Ronaldo’s Influence Reportedly Stalls Benzema Move
According to several sources, the Portuguese star is pushing to prevent Karim Benzema’s transfer to Al-Hilal. The blockage is reportedly not due to a disagreement between the clubs or a strategic shift by Al-Hilal, but rather to internal factors linked to CR7’s status and influence within the Saudi championship.
He allegedly believes the move would harm “fair competition,” according to those same sources, which are still awaiting confirmation. The result: a red-hot case — but currently frozen. The Saudi transfer window is holding its breath.
