Foot – Market – Real Madrid
While Jean-Michel Aulas dreams of repatriating Karim Benzema to Olympique Lyonnais, this file promises to be quite complicated. And for good reason, the Real Madrid striker still has two contracts with the Merengue club where he feels very good.
Trained atOL, Karim Benzema left his mark on the Rhone club before flying to the Real Madrid in 2009, summer during which Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka also engaged with the Madrilenians. Since then, the French striker has established himself as a legend of one of the greatest clubs in the history of football, of which he is today the captain since the departure of Sergio Ramos. Besides, Karim Benzema has just extended his contract for one season until June 2023. A rare thing for a thirty-something in the Real Madrid. Florentino Pérez indeed awaits the last weeks of the contract of aging players to extend them. Proof of the confidence placed by President Merengue in Karim Benzema who will therefore be 35 years old at the end of his lease. And yet, Jean-Michel Aulas continues to dream of a return of his former striker. ” Karim has never played at Groupama Stadium before. The future will tell us if, when he ends his career, there is a possibility of strengthening the ties. He has had an exceptional career at Real Madrid and in the French team. It is a great pride because she is a child of OL », Confided the president of theOL at a press conference.
Benzema is back at OL, it’s not for now
The first wish of Jean-Michel Aulas will be answered. Indeed, Karim Benzema will tread the lawn of Groupama Stadium for the first time this Tuesday evening on the occasion of the match between the France team and Finland. The striker of the Real Madrid, who only played in Gerland, finds Lyon to his greatest happiness. But will he find theOL shortly ? In an interview with Progress, Karim Benzema affirms that for the moment, he does not intend to move: ” I have a contract with Real Madrid, I feel really good there. After ? I don’t know, because I take year by year. If I feel good, I will continue in football, and if I do not feel well, we’ll see. But there, I still have two good years at Real in front of me “. In the short term, it is difficult to imagine the number 19 of the Blues returning to theOL. Bernard Lacombe, a former player and leader of the Gones, does not hide his pessimism on this subject. ” A lot of people say he might come back after his career (at Real Madrid), I don’t think he’s coming back because he plays in the biggest club in the world and he wants to end in style . In Madrid, he is still one of the greatest French players, continues Lacombe. I do not think he is on a departure to come to OL. In addition, his income at Real Madrid is very high, and it would be difficult for us … », He confides to BFM Lyon. In other words, the dream of Jean-Michel Aulas is not ready to come true …
