Benzema cautious about Real Madrid future: "At the moment I'm in Madrid"


Real Madrid's Karim Benzema was reluctant to discuss his future on Thursday, fueling speculation he could move to Saudi Arabia in his final season after winning the title in 2014 .


After Karim Benzema received the Marca Legend award at a ceremony organized by the Spanish sports publication, the Frenchman was asked if he would stay at Real Madrid .

" I have a game (against Athletic Bilbao) on Saturday and tomorrow I have a training session ... so at the moment I am in Madrid, " Benzema said.

The striker was then asked if he planned to speak to real madrid fans about his future, saying: " Why am I talking about the future? I'm at real madrid and the reality is different, not what is said online. "

The Ballon d'Or winner looks set to stay in Madrid for another year after battling injuries and missing out on Qatar's World Cup squad.

However, according to widespread media reports, Saudi Arabia's Ittihad offered Benzema a deal worth more than 100 million euros ( $ 110.08 million).

His former Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo signed Al Nasr on a 2-1/2 -year deal in December , estimated by the media to be worth more than 200 million euros.
