Benzema, 33, has a contract at the Santiago Bernabeu until the summer of 2022. A former agent and friend of his, Karim Djaziri, has revealed that his the striker intends on returning to Lyon to wear the captain’s armband and help the younger generation.
Djaziri revealed that they speak often and that Benzema watches all of Lyon’s matches, but that he’s torn between leaving Madrid and returning to Lyon, offering his opinion that it’s only a matter of time before he does.
