It could happen: Karim Benzema leaves door open for Real Madrid reunion

The French forward has won five Champions League titles with Los Blancos.

The famous former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has discussed the prospect of joining the team again, saying that he can “never say no” to Florentino Perez, the club president.

Before departing for Al-Ittihad in the summer of 2023, Karim Benzema had a fantastic 14-year tenure with his previous employers. He has now not ruled out a reunion.

Karim Benzema has scored 46 goals in 75 appearances since leaving Europe and appears to be in excellent form. His goal totals are comparable to those from his last several seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu.

But as the Frenchman approaches the last seven months of his contract in Jeddah, his future has come under intense scrutiny.

The 37-year-old discussed his future and a potential comeback to Los Blancos in a recent interview. The French forward was asked if he thought Real Madrid would contact him about a potential reunion in an interview with AS.

Karim Benzema speaks on Real Madrid return

In a rather direct reaction, he stated that it would be feasible as long as Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, is present with the team.

“Why? (Laughs). He’s someone I can never say no to. Florentino is special,” he acknowledged. “If Florentino is still there, it could happen, it could happen. I talk to him and it’s possible. I’m a Real Madrid fan. I feel it in my soul. Madrid is still my city, I feel like a Real Madrid fan and a Madrileno. We’ll see what happens. If he’s there…”

Karim Benzema signed with Madrid in the summer of 2009 after leaving Lyon. At Madrid, the Frenchman shattered multiple records and made history.

He has won 25 titles, including four LaLiga titles and five Champions Leagues, making him one of the most successful players in the club’s history.
