Karim Benzema Opens Door to Real Madrid Return as Al-Ittihad Future Remains Unsettled

In an AS interview, the 37-year-old says his deal is nearing its end with European offers under consideration.

Overview

  • Benzema says a Bernabéu reunion 'could happen' if Florentino Pérez remains in charge, noting they are in contact.
  • He confirms his Al-Ittihad contract is approaching its end and that proposals from European clubs are on the table, with no decision yet.
  • He plans to play for roughly two more years and seeks a credible longer-term sporting project rather than a short extension.
  • He urges Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo and Bellingham to communicate roles more clearly, saying Mbappé must decide key matches.
  • He argues Real Madrid lack a clear on-field leader and leaves a France return open, pointing to Zinedine Zidane as a potential factor.
