Real Madrid signed a new agreement with French striker Karim Benzema, reports AS.

The new contract lasts until the summer of 2022 and extends the player’s stay at Santiago Bernabeu for another year..

According to the source, the parties decided not to officially announce the extension of the agreement until the end of the season..

Benzema spent 23 matches for “Blancos” in the current season of the championship of Spain, scored 13 goals and made 6 assists. He is the best scorer of Real Madrid and is only one goal behind Lionel Messi in the La Liga scorers.

It is noted that the Club of Madrid wants to adhere to a policy regarding age players. That is, to sign the contract season after season, given the condition of the player.

It is because of this that the “creamy” people cannot agree on a new agreement with their captain Sergio Ramos, who wants to renew the contract for two years at once.
