May 30th, 2023 by Olasunkanmi Ibikunle

Karim Benzema is mulling his Real Madrid future after receiving a lucrative offer over a move to Saudi Arabia, according to ESPN.

Benzema, 35, was offered a two-year contract worth €400m in January the same deal as Cristiano Ronaldo who joined Al Nassr after leaving Manchester United.

The 2022 Ballon d’Or winner reportedly reached an agreement with Madrid earlier this month to renew his contract for another year. However, the situation has changed in recent weeks and the forward is considering the Saudi offer.

Madrid suffered a disappointing 2022-23 season after failing to compete with Barcelona for the LaLiga title and exiting the Champions League with a heavy defeat to Manchester City in the semifinals.

Benzema has suffered with numerous fitness issues this season and was sidelined for the 2022 World Cup, in which France finished runners-up.

The report claims that Benzema wants to stay at the Bernabeu where he has spent the last eleven years but there is a possibility of him joining his former Madrid teammate Ronaldo in Riyadh.
