Karim Benzema’s resurgence in form for Real Madrid has not gone unnoticed, with the French striker of Algerian descent reclaiming his place as a key player for the club. With 11 goals in 14 appearances since the beginning of 2014 across all competitions, Benzema’s performances have impressed both fans and coaching staff alike, including assistant coach Zinedine Zidane.
Reports suggest that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has shown interest in acquiring Benzema’s services, offering a substantial annual salary of 7 million euros. However, Real Madrid is keen to retain the striker and has moved swiftly to initiate contract extension negotiations with him.
According to El Confidencial, Real Madrid’s management is eager to secure Benzema’s long-term commitment to the club, recognizing his importance to the team’s success. With his current contract set to expire in 2015, Benzema himself is reportedly content with remaining at Real Madrid.
If the negotiations result in a contract extension, Benzema is expected to become one of the highest-paid players at the club, trailing only behind superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale in terms of salary. This move would solidify Benzema’s position as a key figure in Real Madrid’s future plans.
