Karim Benzema close to signing new Real Madrid deal

Veteran striker Karim Benzema has indicated he is ready to commit to a new deal at Real Madrid if he is offered one this summer.

The 33-year-old has 12 months remaining on his current deal and will be able to walk away from the Bernabeu for free next summer.

Despite his ageing years Benzema is still vital for Los Blancos and has 20 goals to his name this season.

Speaking this week in Madrid's pre-match press conference, the Frenchman insisted he is at 'the best club in the world' and is hopeful for what the future holds.

'I go day by day,' Benzema said on Monday, as report Goal.

'I enjoy every training session, every game.

'I have a contract until 2022 but my door is open if the president wants to renew me. This is the best club in the world.'

Talk has started to gather pace regarding Madrid looking to bring in the next era of superstars.

The LaLiga giants have long been linked with a move for PSG's Kylian Mbappe, while speculation in recent months has linked the club with a possible deal for Borussia Dortmund hotshot Erling Haaland.
