UPDATE: Al Hilal will inform Karim Benzema of his dismissal if he refuses to be included in the team’s squad for the Asian competition.
He will receive a financial settlement immediately after the club completes the signing of Ollie Watkins.
Benzema’s settlement fee is reportedly no more than $26M. Al Hilal owner Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is reportedly ready to cover the financial costs of this decision.
