One source close to the Saudi situation suggested this week that Benzema looked at his Al-Ittihad deal and believed he could earn a bit more. Having moved to Al-Hilal he texted Ronaldo, a friend from his Real Madrid days, and observed jokingly that not only had he got a pay-rise but he was also going to win the title again. One would like to think he also added a cursory “lol” at the end although none can say for sure. But safe to say it has prompted quite a dark night of the soul for Ronaldo.
