Even if Karim Benzema wins the Ballon d’Or for this season, something that won’t be talked about in the future will be how good of a captain he was leading us to trophies this season. Nothing to take away from Marcelo but Benzema was the actual leader who led us this season, one who many saw was an innate goal poacher, one who will definitely score.
Madrid are still alert on landing their star man Erling Haaland from Manchester City in 2024, when his €150m release clause is active. And when Karim Benzema‘s new contract will run out, a perfect time for a new striker to blossom, who good player leaves the other takes charge of proceedings, the Norwegian striker was expected to sign for the La Liga giants but they had Karim Benzema who had just won them the champions League trophy.
Even though they missed out again on Kylian Mpabbe there had been talks to restart the interest of Erling Haaland who at the tender age of 21 has already bashed in 185 goals, Madrid are hoping the striker will carry on the same exploits he did for Borussia Dortmund and the others.
But now no one will be willing to replace the king who has been directly involved in 66 goals in 56 games for club & country in 2021/22 and won four trophies.
