Karim Benzema mulling over Saudi Arabia offer despite tying up Real Madrid renewal

Karim Benzema has had a difficult season, with the Real Madrid captain having had to deal with numerous injury and fitness issues across the course of this campaign. Despite this, he has still been in good form.

Benzema is Real Madrid’s longest serving player, having joined from Lyon in 2009. Now aged 35, he is coming towards the end of his career, although he has been expected to remain at Los Blancos for at least one more year, having agreed a one-year contract extension.

Despite this, Benzema has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia of late, and according to Relevo, he is mulling over a €200m contract offer from an unnamed club in the Saudi Pro League.

Benzema had been committed to staying at Real Madrid, but this offer has cast doubt over whether he will stay at the club for next season.

Real Madrid are counting on Benzema staying, as they look to sign a backup option for next season. If the Frenchman goes, they could be forced into pursuing a big-money signing this summer.

  1. Real will have to get a proper replacement Benzema as soon as posible before this season comes to an end.

  2. I said FC Real Madrid should buy another player as to re-place because the heart of a man change at any time. Benzema may likely leave as to sign for the $ 200million.

  3. Good news real madrid need a serious back up for karim benzema and i suggest the should go back to the academy i get a player their

  4. I wont hold it against Benzema if he wanted to make a final big money contract before retirement.
    He has earned that.
    There are plenty of options in the market, Kane and Osimhen being most interesting.
    Especially if Kane sends Hazbeen the other way.
