Karim Benzema leaves, towards a crazy Sunday at Real Madrid

Real Madrid announced this Sunday in an official press release the departure of Karim Benzema at the end of the season.

Bilbao’s reception this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at the Santiago Bernabeu will therefore be Karim Benzema’s last official match with Real Madrid. The French international, who received a pharaonic offer from Saudi Arabia, is living his last moments in the Spanish capital. A huge blow for Real Madrid, who will have to look for a center forward this summer when the objective was to go for Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappé… in a year.

Real Madrid’s plans are turned upside down… and it may not be over. Indeed, according to information obtained by the AS newspaper, the departure of Karim Benzema may not be the only one announced by the Merengue club this Sunday. Indeed, the Madrid newspaper announces that Florentino Pérez could announce one or more other departures that same day before the match against Bilbao, in addition to that of Karim Benzema. All eyes naturally turn to Luka Modric, also courted by Saudi Arabia and whose future at Real Madrid is still uncertain.

Other departures announced by Real this Sunday?

Younger players like Vinicius or even Rodrygo have no chance of leaving but a priori, other well-packed thirtysomethings could leave this Sunday like “KB9”. Not to mention Marco Asensio, announced very close to signing for PSG. Real Madrid fans hold their breath. Although they are aware that a renewal is necessary within the workforce, the departure of certain legends may be difficult to digest. This could still be the case with one or more other major departures in the hours to come. Undoubtedly, the day will be hot and agitated on the side of the Spanish champion 2022.
