In the summer, Real could do well with Mbappe and Haaland. Benzema is therefore now probably looking for a conversation with the royal team.
Real attacker Karim Benzema has given the upcoming Mbappe transfers to Los Blancos and one possible Haaland deals now apparently wanted to talk to club boss Florentino Perez. This is reported by the French football magazine Onze.
Accordingly, the 34-year-old wants clarity about his future role at Real. Benzema is currently the leader in attack and doesn’t want to lose that status. The interview is scheduled to take place in March.
Real Madrid: Benzema is still in favor of Mbappe transfer
However, according to the report, Benzema does not reject a change of his compatriot from PSG. Rather, he could very well imagine an offensive trio consisting of himself, Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. A transfer from Erling Haaland would probably be too much.
Benzema, whose contract runs until 2023, moved from Olympique Lyon to Madrid in the summer of 2009 for 35 million euros. and has since scored 303 goals (182 assists) in 588 games. This makes the French international the third-best goalscorer in club history behind Cristiano Ronaldo (450 goals) and Raul (324).
In the current season, Benzema has scored 24 times in 28 appearances in all competitions and has set up nine more goals.
