Benzema's new year's salary revealed to be 1/4 of Ronaldo's; the two are separated by just one point in this season's Saudi Pro League title race.

Ronaldo's top forward partner at Real Madrid and main competitor in the Saudi Pro League, Benzema, has officially moved from defending champions Al-Ittihad Jeddah to the front-runners Al-Hilal Riyadh. During his time at Al-Ittihad, Benzema earned an annual salary of 100 million euros, half of Ronaldo's. In contract renewal talks, Al-Ittihad offered Benzema an "insulting" deal, effectively meaning he would play for free except for image rights income, as previously reported by the media as a zero salary. This sudden change directly led to Benzema's departure to Saudi's leading club Al-Hilal, where he now wears the number 90 jersey.

According to journalist Tancredi Palmeri, Benzema signed a 0.5 + 1 year contract with Al-Hilal, earning 25 million euros for the first six months. If Benzema chooses to renew after this season, his salary for the next season could reach 50 million euros, which is one-quarter of Ronaldo's salary.

Al-Hilal has faced three consecutive draws in the Saudi Pro League, with their lead narrowed to just one point behind Al-Nassr Riyadh, Ronaldo's team. After signing a star striker like Benzema, Al-Hilal will compete fiercely with Al-Nassr for this season's Saudi Pro League championship.

Fans are buzzing with excitement — when people strive, even the gods pay attention. Benzema's transfer from Al-Ittihad to Al-Hilal means he will surely give his all to win the Saudi Pro League title. The league's excitement has soared; will this season's champion be Benzema or Ronaldo? Let's wait and see.
