Karim Benzema denied this Thursday the speculation about his future and a possible departure to Saudi Arabia and assured that he will not immediately address the Real Madrid fans to clarify whether or not he will continue in the white team next season. “Are you going to stay at Real Madrid?” a girl asked the French striker directly after collecting the Marca Leyenda award. “At the moment I am here, I train well and there is a game on Sunday,” replied Benzema.
“Are you going to talk to the Real Madrid fans about your future soon?” the presenter of the gala asked him later. “Why am I going to talk about the future if I’m in Madrid?” Benzema replied. “Because there are many people who are spoken by you?”, he was insisted. “Yes, but the one that speaks is the internet, and reality is not the internet,” Benzema then sentenced, to settle, at least momentarily, the rumors that place him out of Real Madrid next season, when the white club’s supporters’ clubs have started to even prepare a farewell to the French striker at the Bernabéu on Sunday against Athletic.
A message addressed to Real Madrid fans was later claimed from Benzema, and he limited himself to proclaiming: “1, 2, 3, Hala Madrid!” Precisely, the same message with which he presented himself to the fans of the most successful club in Europe when he joined the white team in 2009.
After the supposed offer of 200 million clean euros with which Saudi Arabia has tempted Benzema and has caused the logical concern of the club chaired by Florentino Pérez when he has one more year left on his contract with Real Madrid, the Frenchman cooled all the information arisen in the last hours that place him outside the white house.
ask for time
The Ballon d’Or 2022 seems to be defoliating the daisy to decide whether or not to leave Real Madrid, with whom he was recognized last year as the best footballer in the world and has won 25 titles in 14 seasons. In addition to an astronomical salary, if he finally leaves for Saudi football, Benzema would be ambassador of Saudi Arabia’s candidacy for the 2030 World Cup, to which Spain also aspires along with Portugal and Morocco.
Last February Benzema rejected a Saudi offer of 60 million euros net for two seasons, when he was immersed in the middle of the competition, but about to finish the course and after having now received an inalienable proposal, his continuity at Real Madrid is more in the air than ever. Curiously, no representative of the white club attended the gala in which he received the Legend Brand this Thursday.
“This award represents the award for all the work of my career at Real Madrid,” said Benzema, who is asking for time to decide his future, while the entity chaired by Florentino Pérez awaits a formal call from Saudi Arabia to negotiate a possible departure from the club. goal scorer.
