Karim Benzema renewed his contract, like advance BRAND in December 2019, for one more season, from 2021 to 2022. It was strange to many that the French did not yearn for a longer contract to ensure his retirement at Real Madrid, but the ram was clear. His idea was to go from year to year and his obsession was not to be in Madrid for being, a very remote position for the times.
Karim’s idea was and is to be able to contribute and score with the team that has given him practically everything. Since the departure of Cristiano, the team has practically sustained itself with goals from Karim. Sum 72 goals since the Portuguese farewell for the 78 that they count together Asensio, Vincius, Rodrygo, Lucas, Mariano, Jovic, Isco, Bale and James.

It is also enough to recover a statistic that has come to light as a result of Cristiano having become the top scorer in history with 763 so many officials scored throughout his career, a figure that exceeds by one the 762 of the Austro-Czech Josef Bican and the legendary Pel.
Well, since Cristiano and Benzema parted ways, the Portuguese has done 87 goals for Juventus and Karim 72 goals. However, CR7 has added 26 of them penalties and the French eight, since the first launcher is Ramos, so without these launches the comparison gives a little twist: 61 from Juventino to 64 from Real Madrid.
With a Karim who maintains his good numbers this season and a Madrid right now full of doubts, the Lyon olympic has thrown the cane again. Also his former agent, Karim Djaziri, he put the subject on the table: the return of the Frenchman to his house for his retirement. “He’s torn between leaving the best club in the world and going back to Lyon, it’s a matter of time. In his dreams he is to return to Lyon and do great things. Wearing the captain’s armband with young people can be magical, “said the person who brought him to Madrid with Florentino Prez.

And he has been the president of Olympique de Lyon, Jean Michel Aulas, which by the way maintains a very good relationship with Florentine, who has also positioned himself already: “I know there were contacts with him last season through Juninho (sports director). If there is now a possibility, logically we will try to find the formula to make it return. It will be a dream for all our fans. It doesn’t have to be that long. Why not. I believe that everything will depend on the results of Madrid, “Aulas pointed out. in a radio interview RMC Sport
Benzema has never ruled out going home, but at least the last campaign, on the official Lyon channel, I was leaving this possibility for later. More than the results, as Aulas says, it is likely that Karim’s decision depends above all on whether he will be useful for the club that has given him the glory and, at least until this year, the figures do not say otherwise, far from it. .
