Karim Benzema finally admits what it would take for him to come back to Real Madrid

Karim Benzema remains one of the last true idols at Real Madrid , and right now the Frenchman is entering the final stretch of his contract with Al-Ittihad. Against this backdrop, his future plans have become a topic of uncertainty, leaving the veteran striker weighing what his next career move will be.

There are many rumors surrounding one of the most recent Ballon d'Or winners , ranging from a contract renewal to a departure or even retirement-though none of these options have been officially ruled out.

Can Karim Benzema return to Real Madrid?

The situation of a player who still possesses tremendous talent has sparked interest from several European clubs, yet Benzema continues to be highly valued by Al-Ittihad, where he is regarded as both a leader and a marketing icon that brings significant revenue to the club.

Recently, when asked in an interview with Diario AS whether he would like to return to Real Madrid , he gave an answer that will undoubtedly excite Madrid fans tremendously.

"He's a person I can never say no to. Florentino is special," Benzema said when asked if he would sign to come back, a statement that clearly leaves the door open to that possibility.

"It's true that my contract here is coming to an end. I still can't say what I'm going to do-whether I'll stay or leave; it depends on many things. I'll turn 38 in December. I see myself playing football for two more years," he added.

Benzema also confirmed that he has active offers from Europe , though comfort and respect are just as important to him as the competitive level.

"It's true that I have offers from Europe. I need to consider everything, choose wisely, and see where I feel good-without forgetting that I'm comfortable here and receive everyone's affection. In any case, I'm not going to stop playing football or competing in six months."
