Karim Benzema is the soul of Real Madrid today and also since Cristiano Ronaldo left the Whites. Without the French striker, Real Madrid would not have achieved the titles it has achieved in recent years. Now is the time to really think about his future, but it looks like Florentino Perez will have more work than expected to rejuvenate him
Luka Modric, Thibaut Courtois and any other footballer in Real Madrid’s squad are not as essential as Karim Benzema. It is the Frenchman who scores goals and makes the difference on the field. This is why it can be said that Benzema is the great leader of Real Madrid and at this time there is no one who can oppose his untouchable role
But Real Madrid knows that Benzema’s contract expires at the end of this season and that they will have to do something to try to keep him. Now there is no other striker who can overshadow him and no other striker is expected who could be as important as the French player. In addition, the fact that he is wanted by other very powerful entities, and that they are even able to exceed the rewards that Real Madrid rewards him, means that his future is no longer guaranteed and he may have some plot. In addition, outside Real Madrid, they offer him a two-year contract plus one optional contract, which Florentino requests without correspondence
In this sense, and although the only club with which he was strongly associated is Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Chelsea have considered his inclusion to offer a punch on the table in the English Premier League and the place in the current Golden Ball in his team. Team
In addition, it must be borne in mind that apart from Benzema being a first-line player in the World Cup, Manchester United and Chelsea have vacancies in the attacking block that need to be filled. The Red Devils have parted ways with Cristiano Ronaldo and Old Trafford fans need a new idol, while at Chelsea there is some discontent with the signing of Romelu Lukaku, just as there was with Timo Werner
