The future of Karim Benzema is a soap opera that has experienced incredible twists in recent hours. And a priori it is not over.
Real Madrid news was spectacularly packed during the day on Thursday. The future of Karim Benzema was the big topic of the day and Madrid fans went through all the emotions, between the certainty of a departure for Saudi Arabia in the middle of the day, with an official announcement envisaged, the reaction from KB9 at the end of the day to calm all the rumours, then information from Marca assuring last night that Benzema would continue for an additional season in Madrid.
Benzema has given no further news to Real leaders
What to give a definitive turn to the file? Not so sure. Several media such as L’Equipe, Le Parisien or COPE relay information from relatives concerning a Benzema who would not have actually made his decision. The team also specifies that concern is on the Madrid side since “the Madrid leaders have not heard from their attacker” for five days and the revelation of the Saudi offer. As for the journalist Edu Aguirre, he confided this night in the program El Chiringuito that according to his sources, the plan of Benzema would be even different: to retire with Real Madrid and then go to live in Saudi Arabia! The Benzema case is still likely to be talked about in the coming days!
