The lucrative Saudi move, according to Karim Benzema, is “Reality is Not The Internet”

Karim Benzema, a striker for Real Madrid, said on Thursday in reaction to rumors of a lucrative transfer to Saudi Arabia that “reality is not the internet.”

The Frenchman questioned, “Why am I going to speak about the future while I’m in Madrid?

The internet is the topic of conversation, but the internet is not reality.

Benzema was replying to rumors that he may be moving to a Saudi club, despite the fact that he still has one year remaining on his deal with the Spanish powerhouses.

with a two-year contract with the Gulf country, Benzema might earn 200 million euros ($215 million), according to Spanish news estimates.

I’m here right now, he said. “I love every day, and tomorrow I go to training. On Sunday I have a game.

“I’m quite happy of my work, and the most important thing is to have fun. I look forward to every practice and game.

“When I go to Valdebebas, I don’t have to work since I won’t want to do anything after that day.

Benzema, who has won 25 trophies during his stint at Real Madrid, stated, “I adore football as children do, and in my brain I’m still a kid.

Speaking at a Marca newspaper award presentation, Benzema revealed that his approach to the game was trying to be a more adaptable striker.

“I know how to score goals, but what I want in football because I like playing it is what I can do on the field: movement, assists — I try to do things that are not seen in other strikers.”

Brazilian footballer Ronaldo, who is now retired, was used by Benzema as an example because “not only was he a goal scorer, but he could shimmy, make assists.”

When accepting his Marca medal, the French striker was likewise modest, stating that “when a player receives a trophy it is always with the whole team because without my teammates I can’t reach the level.”

I have the skill, but you need other people’s aid; the whole team is always needed.
