Al Ittihad striker Karim Benzema has suggested that a return to Real Madrid could be on the cards
The French forward, who left Los Blancos as a free agent in July 2023 to join the Middle Eastern club, spent 14 successful years at Real Madrid, winning numerous trophies including the Ballon d’Or.
In an interview with AS, Benzema admitted he would find it hard to refuse a return, particularly if club president Florentino Perez requests it.
“If Florentino is still there, it could happen, it could happen. I talk to him and it’s possible,” Benzema said.
“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…”
Benzema’s current contract with Al Ittihad runs until June 2026, leaving open the possibility for a future move back to Spain.
