Atletico Madrid loanee Joao Felix is reportedly being considered by Real Madrid as a possible Karim Benzema replacement. As per Fabrizio Romano, by means of Fichajes.net, Portugal worldwide could make a beeline for the Santiago Bernabeu for the 2023-24 season given Benzema’s unsure circumstances.
A club in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made a lucrative offer to the legendary French forward. It is indistinct assuming Benzema will remain with Los Blancos next season. Thus, Felix, who will get back to Atletico Madrid this mid-year after his half-year credit spell terminates at Chelsea, has arisen as a choice.
Los Rojiblancos will not be against sitting on the exchange table for him, given his uncomplimentary structure for them since his appearance in 2019. They don’t have it any easier because they paid SL Benfica €126 million in transfer fees for his services. Diego Simeone’s plans reportedly do not include Felix.
Felix played just 649 league minutes for Atletico this season, scoring four times and providing three assists, prior to his move to Chelsea. In the summer of 2027, the 23-year-old’s contract with the Wanda Metropolitano will end. If he is selected to replace Benzema for just one season, he will have big shoes to fill at Real Madrid.
During his 14 years at the club, the 2022 Ballon d’Or winner has made 647 career appearances and scored 353 goals and 165 assists. Regardless of whether he stays, Los Merengues would realize that they should supplant the 35-year-old over the long haul.
After Real Madrid’s loss to Manchester City, the coach defended Karim Benzema :
Karim Benzema was disappointed as Manchester City beat Genuine Madrid 4-0 (5-1) in the second leg of the UEFA Champions Association elimination rounds on May 17. In 42 games across all competitions, Benzema has scored 30 times and contributed six assists despite a season marred by injuries.
However, in his ten appearances in the UEFA Champions League during that time, he only scored four goals and contributed one assist. In the second leg against the Cityzens, Benzema was very bad. He only got one shot on goal, did one dribble, and won one of the eight duels he fought in.
Real Madrid under Benzema has won the Copa del Rey, FIFA Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup this season despite losing in La Liga and the Champions League.
