The icon of Karim Benzim Benzim planned to return to Real Madrid, in addition to the end of his time with al-ittihad in Saudi Arabia. The 37-year-old left Real Madrid in 2023, and is now coming to the final stages of his multi-year deal in the Middle East, where Fulenman will receive a total of €200m.
Although he turned 38 this year, the veteran forward has no plans to retire at the end of his contract, next summer. Speaking in an interview with Diario As, he explained that he could make it to 40 before hanging up his boots.
“At the moment, I’m very happy here; they show me a lot of love. The players, the fans, the coach, the Champions League is almost here.” I can still do many things. I will be 38 in December. “
“I see myself playing football for two more years. Physically, I’m healthy, I’m working hard, and I like to continue with the face, but I’ll see what they need. I’ve been here for three years now, and it keeps getting better and better.”
‘I have an offer from Europe’ – Benzimama
Last summer there were rumors that Benzema could be on his way back to European football, with Olympique Lyon appearing to be keen on a move for the veteran forward. Benzi continued to confirm that this was the case.
“It is true that I offer from Europe. I have to look at everything, choose wisely, see that I feel comfortable here and forget myself.
Benzema in real madrid return
Naturally, he was asked if he could return to one of his former clubs. Maybe he’s more surprised that he didn’t finish the idea. When they left, Benzema also commented that he felt like he was going to retire from Real Madrid.
“If Florentino [Perez] it is still there, it is possible, it is possible. I talk to him and it is possible. I am a real madrid fan. I feel it in my soul. Madrid is my city, I feel like madrid fan and madleriveno. We will see what happens. If there is…”
Real Madrid have benefited from veteran strikers
While Benzema appears unlikely to return to Real Madrid, it would not be the first time that Los Blancos have turned to the veteran number nine, leading the way in recent Champions League triumphs. Joseli Sanchez was very important for Los Blancos developing from the bench, and in the imagination It is the role that Gonzelo Garcia Torres played in this season. The young man is not happy with the same success though.
