The French star only has a contract with Real Madrid until the end of this season.

Karim Benzema spent 14 years playing for Real Madrid and reaped countless titles here. In the current season, the French striker is still the club’s top scorer with 19 goals in 29 appearances in all competitions.

However, Benzema is facing speculation about the future, in the context that the extension negotiations between the two sides have not yet produced positive results.

Currently, Benzema’s contract is only valid until the end of the season and if there is not any breakthrough in the negotiation process, the reigning Golden Ball will leave Real Madrid this summer.

Difficulties are becoming increasingly piled up for Real because according to Calcio Mercato, AS Roma is closely following the situation of Karim Benzema. The Italian representative received support from the sports company Adidas, so they completely had enough grounds to convince the French goalscorer to move to Stadio Olimpico.

If the deal is completed, coach Jose Mourinho will be reunited with the student he once led at Real Madrid.
