Real Madrid makes a decisive decision after Benzema injury

Real Madrid never stopped looking at what was happening in Doha with Karim Benzema at all times. The Whites’ captains wanted to be at the Madrid captain’s side at all times and the best way to do that was to remove any doubts that might exist regarding the forward’s immediate future.

Real Madrid is not considering signing the number nine striker in the next market in January. This hypothesis was not present in the minds of those running the club, who were clear that with Benzema and Rodrygo, the outright striker position is well covered.

From Valdebebas, they do not stop sending this message, indicating that Benzema is and will remain the main striker number nine for the White Club at least until 2024. There is no other option other than the Frenchman and Rodrygo’s option as a substitute. The white club’s roadmap does not include making any deals in January, let alone the striker.

The injury, untimely, came at a crucial moment. The World Cup is lost, but there is complete and absolute confidence in Real Madrid towards the French striker. The club is sure that he will be the offensive reference again this season and that he will remain so next season.

During the weeks leading up to France’s World Cup camp, Benzema suffered no injury other than fatigue and overload. The muscle breakdown occurred while there was no time left for him to take part in the World Cup. The Frenchman will begin his recovery today, with the World Cup already forgotten, to focus on getting back to the form he showed over the past season.

Ancelotti said weeks ago that the team would not make a deal, and that the same players who started the season would be responsible for ending it, barring desirable but unlikely departures. Nothing has changed. It is true that Real Madrid will be attentive, but there is no specific goal and the decision not to sign a new striker will remain decisive.
