The reported rift between Real Madrid and their striker, Karim Benzema, appears to be substantial this time. The French forward has faced criticism from the Bernabeu crowd and some teammates, including Pepe. His recent goalless performances, both for Real Madrid and the French national team, have intensified the scrutiny.
Benzema, acknowledging the challenges, had asked for patience from the club, stating, “You have to question yourself on the pitch, and that’s what I do. We must continue. I’m working hard, and I think it will come.” Despite being involved in the goals during a match, he has not found the back of the net for six games with Real Madrid and has been goalless for more than 1,200 minutes in the French national team.
Reports suggest that Real Madrid’s management, including President Florentino Pérez, has decided to move on from Benzema. While Pérez was previously a staunch defender of the Frenchman, the recent decision indicates a change in stance. The club is reportedly looking to secure between 15 and 20 million euros for Benzema during the winter transfer window.
Despite the price tag, English clubs are said to be interested in Benzema, raising questions about his market value and whether he is worth the proposed amount.
