Karim Benzema recently made a statement regarding the rumors spreads around him. I get his statement to be somewhat unclear, but it seems to suggest that he may be leaving the club. While it's always sad to see a talented player go, I believe that sometimes it's simply time to move on. But, I will be happy for this case, as long as the club able to find a suitable replacement.
How many top class players do you think are currently available for Real Madrid to sign this coming summer transfer period?
Personally I don't see any lol.
Benzema has been exceptional and instrumental in Real Madrid. He is a number 9 but sometimes goes deep into the midfield to win possession and also provides assists quite well. No so many top current number 9's can do that.
He is what we call a "complete forward" which means that he does a bit of everything. Some players like Haaland are target strikers, his aim is to score goals, Lewandowski is known like that too, some players are a bit more pivot, they like to get the ball and pass, some players are false 9, which means they are not purely like a striker, they distribute to wingers that come from the sides, but Benzema type of players are complete forwards, he can pass, he can help the wingers, he can score, he can do anything that needs to be done, is he a better scorer than lewandowski?
I do not think so, but he is a better passer, is he faster than mbappe? Of course not but he can help the wingers more than him, all in all he does everything, and that is why he is so good.
