The good son comes home, especially when he has problems. This is how Karim Benzema’s return to Real Madrid has taken place. Will it be final? Not in principle, but… it’s football.
It has been Al Ittihad itself, the Frenchman’s current club, that has reported an agreement with Real Madrid’s medical services so that the player can be examined and they can work together on his full recovery.

“After being in contact with Real Madrid, an agreement has been reached for the player to undergo new tests at the Real Madrid clinic with the team that treated him during his time at the club. The player has left for Madrid and will return next week,” the Saudi club said in a statement.
It means that Benzema will be in Madrid, his home, but not to stay but to basically resolve the muscular problems that have plagued him since his landing in Saudi Arabia, where they pay him close to 200 million euros per season, according to Fabrizio Romano, but They still don’t see their best version.
The controversial Frenchman has played 26 games, 10 goals and 8 assists and could not do anything for his team to retain the local title or to avoid elimination from the Saudi King’s Cup at the hands of Al Hilal, who he saw in the stands as he was already injured.
Good reinforcement for the next season at Real Madrid? I’m sure it won’t be difficult for you to open the door. But he must be healthy and at his best, since it is worth remembering that he also left the World Cup in Qatar due to physical problems that he has not been able to resolve.
