Earlier, Spain's Daily Sport newspaper reported a transfer news about Real Madrid. The media said Real Madrid hope to sign both Mbappe and Haaland this summer. To persuade the Norwegian supernova to join, Real Madrid will assure Haaland that he will be the team's undisputed starter.
Thus, Haaland's arrival also meant the end of Benzema's career at the Bernabeu. Florentino believes that, like the sale of Ronaldo in the first place, this summer is the ideal time to sell Benzema and earn an income. Florentino wanted to build a squad that could last for 10 years.
Real Madrid fans' feelings for the "stupid horse" are self-evident, they have joined the team for 13 years, followed the team to the top, and also experienced a low. In the goldenest of careers, he is willing to be a green leaf, and now he needs to pick up the beam and stand up. Now that it's hard to get out of the way, Florentino is considering kicking the hero away? To be honest, fans are emotionally difficult to accept, but it is really possible to use Lafayette's style.
In fact, Florentino is not the first time to do a job against the club, when Hiero, Raul, Guti, Casillas left the Bernabeu again and again to sting the hearts of Real Madrid fans, and hate the ruthlessness of the club's top brass, but "unloading and killing donkeys" has become Florentino's habit. With these legends flowing with the club's "white blood" can be ruthlessly cleaned up, it is not difficult to understand that C Ronaldo and Ramos's demands and the club's interests can not be balanced when they are swept out.
In addition, from the "recording door" exposed by the media last year, we can see how Florentino mocked and criticized Raul, Casillas, C Ronaldo and other clubs. Florentino was able to be president of Real Madrid for so long and keep the club competitive, he couldn't be emotional, he had to do it when it was time to do it.
Back to the topic of Benzema. His contribution to Real Madrid is obvious to all, but next season he will be 35 years old, and rejuvenation is an irreversible trend for Real Madrid. If you want to maintain competitiveness for the next 10 years or more, you must have veterans who will make way for young people. With Mbappe largely certain of a free transfer, florentino seeing Haaland as the successor to the future center position is a natural thing, and no big club can ignore such a good super center.
Benzema wasn't Vinicius' longtime partner with Mbappe, their age difference was more than 10 years, while Haaland was. If the 3 most expensive young attackers in today's football can be gathered at the Bernabeu, the 3rd generation of "Galactico" will set sail.
For Benzema, leaving Real Madrid is also advantageous. His contract was signed in 2023, and if he still wants to renew his contract, the difficulties are obvious, and it is likely to be signed once in 1 year. However, if he chooses to leave at this time, it is entirely possible that he will get a satisfactory multi-year contract with other teams. He has won everything he can at Real Madrid, and at 34 years old, it's time to work on his last big contract before retiring.
Truth be told, at this age, sooner or later they will have to make way for young people. Modric is still holding out because the young midfielder is not yet able to pick the girder. But Minsha Haland is sure to leave Dortmund, the opportunity is not lost, Real Madrid must make a choice. For Benzema, leaving while still at his peak would be a win-win situation. Real Madrid's forward line is completely renewed, and he can also turn around with a body of honor and glory, to a club that needs him to play the residual heat and harvest a good multi-year contract.
