(Football news) Karim Benzema has had quite a few injury issues this season. Despite missing so many games he has scored 30 in all competitions goals this season. He hasn’t been able to replicate the impact he had last season but that is not a surprise as he is getting older. Despite Karim Benzema’s contract ending in the summer, there was never any doubt over his continuity. Reports always claimed that Benzema has verbally areed a one year extension and will continue to play at the Santiago Bernabéu next season.
However now things have changed as reliable reports are claiming that Karim Benzema is considering the offer from Saudi Arabia clubs. The offer will definitely secure generational wealth for Karim Benzema. If the Frenchman feels that he has achieved everything with Real Madrid than he won’t be wrong. His performances this season have also naturally fallen down with age. It is understandable that Benzema is considering the move however it will still take some time for his decision to be confirmed.
Real Madrid are in the market for a striker but now if Karim Benzema leaves they will need 2. Los Blancos’ interest in Harry Kane is likely to get stronger if Benzema leaves. It was already going to be a busy transfer window for Real Madrid but now with this Karim Benzema situation it will be hectic. The Merengues will be hoping that it doesn’t get dragged out and their club captain makes his decision as soon as possible so that they can plan for next season accordingly.
