Karim Benzema’s contract with Al Hilal is terminated by mutual agreement, and the forward leaves the Saudi Pro League club after a short stint. Multiple reports say the club and the player confirm the decision, ending his time with Al Hilal’s first team.

Both outlets state that Benzema joined Al Hilal in February and exits after roughly six months. The termination is described as mutual, indicating both parties agree to end the contractual relationship rather than a unilateral release or transfer. Details about any next destination or immediate plans are not included in the provided accounts.

While the reporting focuses on the same outcome—Al Hilal confirming the contract termination and Benzema departing—wording differs slightly. One outlet frames it as an “officially terminated” contract, while the other emphasizes “mutually agree” to terminate, but both describe the same timing and basis for the departure.
