Cristiano Ronaldo took the jump to move to the Saudi Arabian league this summer and seems to be enjoying his football with Al-Nassr as they fight for a league title.
His move could start a domino effect of other players taking the same route.
Real Madrid have a couple of veterans coming to the end of their time at the club, and just as Al-Nassr did with Ronaldo, some as Saudi Arabian clubs are looking to swoop in and take them to the league.
Madrid are aware two of their players have already been contacted.
As reported by Josep Pederol via MadridXtra, Real Madrid are aware that Saudi Arabian clubs have contacted Karim Benzema and Luka Modric.
There is speculation over the future of both players, and they could end up leaving at the end of the season to move onto pastures new.
Saudi Arabia can offer a lot of money to the likes of Benzema and Modric, and with both players entering the twilight of their career it could be of interest for them to take a final pay-day.

— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) March 22, 2023If Al-Nassr make a move for either player, the chance of finishing their career alongside Ronaldo could also be something that is hard to turn down.
Neither player has made a final decision yet and there is still a chance that they could stay on at Madrid next season, but Saudi Arabia are certainly one to keep an eye out for when it comes to Karim Benzema and Luka Modric.
