The paths of Karim Benzema (33 years old) and the Real Madrid they will stay together for at least one more season. Negotiations for the renewal of his contract, which ends in 2022, began a few weeks ago and, as he anticipates ABC, the Frenchman will sign a new bond once he returns from vacation. He will play in white until 2023, so he would leave with 35 years.
The forward will return to training on July 22 and it is expected that, a few days later, his continuity will be made official. Yes, nor as much as Madrid wanted, since they offered them two years, until 2024, but it was the footballer himself who preferred to measure himself season by season, according to the same media. This is his second renewal in two years, as he signed his last contract in 2020.
Despite being already in an advanced phase of his career, Benzema has a sweet moment. He is the undisputed star of Madrid and has regained his place in the French national team, where he has already assumed a large part of the leading role. Although they disappointed in the last European Championship falling in the round of 16, the attacker was the best player on his team. His 30 goals and nine assists in 46 games last season have convinced the board, who want to retain their main offensive asset.
With it, you want to use the same formula as with Nacho. The youth squad, like Karim, ended his contract in 2022, and it has been extended by a year. Of course, the club still has six other players who end their relationship once this season ends: Varane, Carvajal (your renewal will not be a problem), Marcelo, Modric (just renewed one year), Bale and Isco. Some of them could be living their last year in the Madrid team.
