Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante have been enjoying their time with Al-Ittihad so far. The two Frenchmen are in pre-season with the Saudi Pro League champions.
Recently, the team posted a video of the two stars being serenaded inside the team bus by their teammates.
2022 Ballon d'Or winner, Benzema, was seated at the back of the bus when his lively teammates started passionately serenading him with a song.
The former Real Madrid striker's face broke into an infectious grin before he joined in on the song.
The Saudi Arabian giants then posted a video on Twitter of their players serenading the modest Kante. After initially refusing to participate, he gave in and sang the famous 'Kante' song as he gradually settles with his new team.
The two football stars were also seen sharing a fun moment in training, rekindling their French connection.
Ronaldo on Benzema joining Saudi
Ballon d'Or winners, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, played together for Real Madrid for several years and will now face each other in the Saudi Pro League next season, per Sports Brief.
They are some of the top stars that flocked to Saudi Arabia this year, per Sky Sports. However, Ronaldo offered a blunt response when asked about crossing paths with Benzema in the upcoming 2023/24 season.
“I won't just face Benzema, I'll face Nuno [Espirito] Santo, a Portuguese coach who was a champion last year,” Ronaldo said.
Espirito Santo embraces Kante
Sports Brief also reported on Al-Ittihad coach, Santo warmly embracing Kante days after the 2018 World Cup winner joined the club.
A video clip of the former Wolves coach meeting with Benzema, Kante, and Diogo Jota in the dressing room went viral on social media.
Santo has coached some top football stars in his career already, and it will definitely be easy getting to lead Benzema and Kante.
