"Karim Benzema chooses big money and leaves Real Madrid"

Karim Benzema will not renew his expiring contract, as reported by various well-informed journalists. The press room at Real Madrid is being prepared for a press conference where this will be announced. This marks the end of an era, as Benzema has been playing for the Spanish top team since 2009. It appears that the Frenchman will be moving to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.

Speculations about Benzema's future have been ongoing for some time, as the striker had not yet extended his expiring contract. It seems that will no longer happen. As a result, Real Madrid will have to find a new offensive leader. The club has already acquired top talent Endrick from Brazilian club Palmeiras for €60 million, but the striker is only sixteen years old.

Joselu could act as a kind of interim solution. Spanish outlet Relevo reported at the end of May that the Espanyol striker is likely to move to Real Madrid. He has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave on loan if the club is relegated. Espanyol has now officially been relegated to LaLiga2. Joselu is 33 years old and scored sixteen goals in LaLiga this season.

Another name that was previously mentioned is Rasmus Hojlund, who is under contract with Atalanta. La Repubblica reported this in February. He was bought for €17 million from Sturm Graz last season, and can be compared to Erling Braut Haaland in terms of both name and playing style. He scored eight goals in 31 matches. Kylian Mbappé is also frequently linked to the Spanish club.

Benzema left Olympique Lyon for €35 million to join Real Madrid in 2009. The striker played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo for many years but has been the team's main offensive leader since Ronaldo's departure in 2020. In 647 matches, he has scored 353 goals and provided 165 assists.
