MADRID: Real Madrid鈥檚 Karim Benzema was reluctant to talk about his future on Thursday, fueling speculation he could move to 抖阴短视频 in the close season following 14 trophy-laden years.
After the 35-year-old striker was awarded the Marca Legend prize at a ceremony organized by the Spanish sports publication, the Frenchman was asked if he was staying at Real Madrid.
鈥淪aturday I have a game (against Athletic Bilbao), tomorrow I have a training session ... so at the moment I鈥檓 in Madrid,鈥� Benzema said.
The forward was then asked if he planned to address the Real fans about his future and said: 鈥淲hy do I have to talk about the future? I am at Real Madrid. The reality is different, not what is said on the Internet.鈥�
The Ballon d鈥橭r winner looked set to stay in Madrid for another year after a season in which he struggled with injuries and missed out on France鈥檚 World Cup squad in Qatar.
However, according to widespread media reports Benzema has been offered a deal worth more than $110.08 million by 抖阴短视频鈥檚 Al-Ittihad.
His former Real teammate Cristiano Ronaldo signed a 2-1/2 year contract, estimated by media to be worth more than 200 million euros, with Al-Nassr in December.
