Karim Benzema returning to Real Madrid? Carlo Ancelotti is campaigning for it, but the Italian technician is not the decision-maker.

From the top of his 354 goals in 648 matches, for 25 trophies won – including five Champions Leagues and four Spanish championship titles – Karim Benzema was able to mark the history of Real Madrid during his stay between 2009 and 2023. However , seeing him wear the merengue tunic again one day is pure fantasy.

In difficulty today in Saudi Arabia, the 2022 Ballon d’Or, according to Agence France Presse, would have indicated to his club – Al-Ittihad – his desire to “temporarily” leave Jeddah to finish the season in Europe. Only Real Madrid will not be the base targeted by KB9. And for good reason…

Perez adamant

The Spanish daily Sport reveals the campaign led by Carlo Ancelotti recently to repatriate the French striker. This in order to strengthen offensively a Real which this season may have suffered from the absence of Vinicius in particular, however happily relying on Jude Bellingham to do well in La Liga as in C1.

Yes, but now, the management of the White House, led by Florentino Perez, is categorical on the subject: the history of Karim Benzema at Real Madrid belongs to the past. A reason for hope, perhaps, for OL, the training club of the phenomenon which would work to find the appropriate financial package to achieve such a success.
