Arrived from OL in the summer of 2009, Karim Benzema has been a delight for Real Madrid for more than 12 seasons. While his number 9 will be at the end of his contract on June 30, 2023, Emilio Butragueño has displayed a huge wish for his future.
During the summer of 2009, Real Madrid spent around 35M € to snatch Karim Benzema from OL . A sum more than profitable, since the French international shines in the White House for more than twelve years. Knowing that Karim Benzema will be at the end of his contract on June 30, 2023, Emilio Butragueño does not want to see him leave anytime soon. In an interview with Telemadrid, the director of institutional relations of Real Madrid campaigned for the 33-year-old striker to stay for several more years at Real Madrid.
“I hope he will be with us for many more years”
“Karim Benzema? Without a doubt, it's a pleasure to see him play. The great players are the ones who improve the game. You give the ball to Benzema and the game improves. He has enormous resources, a great ability to combine and a huge talent for playing in the penalty area. Its performance is exceptional. In recent years he has taken on enormous responsibility and lived up to expectations. He is already a Real Madrid legend and I hope he will be with us for many years to come, ”said Emilio Butragueño.
