Karim Benzema's Al-Hilal contract terminated — now a free agent
The Ballon d'Or winner's Al-Hilal deal ended Aug 31, 2026, ending his run in the Saudi Pro League.
Karim Benzema's contract with Al-Hilal was terminated as of Aug 31, 2026, ending the Ballon d'Or winner's run in the Saudi Pro League and making him a free agent.
Benzema's arrival was one of the league's marquee signings when it happened, so his exit — with the contract ended rather than simply expiring on its own natural schedule — is a significant departure, and it immediately puts one of the sport's biggest available names back on the market.
Why it matters. One of the league's marquee signings is suddenly available again.
