Just recently, Karim Benzema, one of the most decorated players of Real Madrid, shared his love for the club and gave a hint that he could make a return to Real Madrid. He also mentioned that it would be possible if Florentino Perez is still there, who is currently the Real Madrid President. Does Karim Benzema’s return to Real Madrid make sense? Let us find out.
We are just six months away from Karim Benzema’s contract with the Saudi Arabian side, Al-Ittihad, ending. He also spoke about the offers he has received. Karim Benzema also stated that he has many offers from Europe, and a return to Europe is surely very much possible. Surely, who would not want a player like Benzema in their team who has proved so much.

Karim Benzema on Real Madrid return: “If Florentino is still there, it could happen. I talk to him, and it’s possible”
If any of you want to know who Karim Benzema is, then let me tell you, he joined Real Madrid in 2009. Since then, he has played more than 600 matches for the club and scored more than 350 goals. He is the second-highest goal scorer for Real Madrid after Cristiano Ronaldo. Karim Benzema has won a total of 25 titles for Real Madrid. He also won a Ballon d’Or in 2022, and the next year, he left the club.
Benzema spoke about him playing for the next two years, and surely he has the football left in him. He can surely have that rotation role in the team, which could help the youngsters and share his experience. Currently, he is one of the top strikers in the Saudi Pro League and is scoring goals. Let us be practical. The Saudi League has some great players, and it takes a lot to score against them.
Does Real Madrid really need Karim Benzema?
To be very honest, they don’t need Benzema, but if there is a player like him who can come to your player, then surely why not? Real Madrid, at this moment, is lacking the presence of a number nine, and at times, Mbappe is just out of the match. With Karim Benzema in the team, he could play as the rotational player and also help Gonzalo Garcia in his initial days and groom him. With the policy of not signing players above 30, it seems tough for Karim Benzema to get a return ticket to Real Madrid.
