Karim Benzema has reportedly agreed to a new one-year contract extension with the club and is anticipated to leave the organization in 2024, according to a recent claim confirmed by reputable sports websites. <\/p>\n

The UK Mirror claims that Benzema recently turned down a lucrative invitation to travel to Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n

If the Frenchman had chosen to leave the La Liga champions, he would have joined his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who sealed a spectacular transfer to Al-Nassr in January. <\/p>\n

– –<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ballon d\u2019Or winner from the previous year, Benzema, is still a key member of Real Madrid. He scored 44 goals overall, 15 of which came during their run in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that they are ready to relinquish their La Liga championship, the 35-year-old has scored 25 goals so far this season.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid won 4-0 overall and 2-0 against Chelsea on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge to advance to the UEFA Champions League semifinals. Rodrygo\u2019s two goals on the night helped Real Madrid reach the last four for the tenth time in the previous twelve seasons. <\/p>\n

The club of Carlo Ancelotti will probably face off against fellow favourites Manchester City, who are now leading 3-0 before the second leg against Bayern Munich on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

It was all Chelsea at the start of the second half as the Blues got stronger and stronger and scoring opportunities went begging, but they were unquestionably the side in total control up until Real Madrid scored the opening goal on the counter-attack.<\/p>\n

In the 58th minute, Rodrygo scored after a scramble in the six-yard box, and in the 80th, the Brazilian forward walked the ball into the goal to make it 2-0. When it mattered most, in the final third, Real Madrid were much superior despite Chelsea\u2019s many attempts to come back into the match.<\/p>\n
