Karim Benzema is still an important figure for Real Madrid, but we haven’t seen the 35-year-old striker in action as much as we would like this season. So there is a lot of talk about his future. This is something his former employer would like to take advantage of.
The holder of one Ballon d’Or is having a rather embarrassing season. Karim Benzema would undoubtedly like to build on last season, in which he was extremely successful, but he is constantly facing various obstacles.
Quite frequent minor injuries, absences from the World Cup. Moreover, his Real Madrid is quite far from being able to at least think about winning the league. Moreover, due to his absences, the club has to slowly prepare to replace him.
Because of this, there is more and more talk about what will happen to Benzema in the coming months or years. After all, he is 35 years old and cannot be the driving force of the Spanish giant forever. Moreover, his contract expires in the summer.
According to the Spanish media, Benzema is close to a new contract that will keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu for another year, but there is another player who wants to get involved. His former employer.
Olympique Lyon nurtured the star striker for big-time football. When Benzema won the Ballon d’Or, the French cannonballer also presented it at the shrine of his former club, where he received a huge ovation.
The French club’s president Jean-Michel Aulas makes no secret of his interest in Benzema’s return. “It’s true that if there is the slightest possibility of acquiring him, we will take a chance. He is an icon. I dream every day that Karim will return. We will try, but it’s difficult,” Sport.es quotes him as saying.
Benzema has featured in 29 competitive games this season, but has scored 19 goals and added five assists.
