Karim Benzema, the Real Madrid captain and attacker, who has been linked with leaving the club in recent days, has made an unexpected decision.
The Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad made Benzema a lucrative offer for his yearly salary of 100 million euros, and he was anticipated to leave the Bernabeu.
Karim took the decision to continue at the Bernabeu with one year left on his contract, which finishes in 2024, according to all media reports.
Now, the MARCA newspaper has shocked the world by reporting that Benzema has changed his mind and decided to stay with Los Blancos.
According to Marca, Benzema realizes that Real Madrid needs him and that the offer from Saudi Arabia can wait a year, therefore he chose to stay.
Karim’s hallmark team, Al Ittihad, recently won Saudi Arabia’s first division by defeating Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr team.
Real Madrid have been linked with strikers such as Tottenham’s Harry Kane if Benzema goes.
Marca announced late yesterday night that the club’s second-highest goalscorer had decided to stay.
