Benzema In Shock Move To Old Trafford?

Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema may be up for one of the most shocking transfer stories in football so far if the current reports from Spain are anything to hold by in a reported move to Old Trafford.

Manchester United has built itself a reputation for going for glamorous transfer moves in recent history, with the move for Angel Di Maria, Cristiano Ronaldo’s failed swan song return to Old Trafford, Raphael Varane, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and so on.

And for one, Real Madrid’s ex-players have coincidentally taken Old Trafford as the next bridge post their Santiago Bernabeu career if the recent trends are anything to consider, and with Karim Benzema believed to join in that narrative, we could be looking at a Real Madrid union next season.

Karim Benzema, Real Madrid’s number 9, is about to make an unexpected switch to Manchester United.

Manchester United is willing to offer Benzema a “crazy salary,” according to the Spanish daily Nacional, in an effort to sign him to an Old Trafford contract.

The Premier League powerhouses will have to compete with Paris Saint-Germain, who are also thought to be interested in the France international, according to the article.

Benzema won the Ballon d’Or in October, but injury has kept him out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup thus far.

In the summer of 2023, the 34-year-old’s current Real Madrid deal will come to an end, and without a renewal, the Real Madrid star may be looking at bidding the La Liga giants goodbye.
