I think that real madrid shall not rely with him. Benzema was also getting even older. It's the time for real madrid to hunt the new talent that will replace him in the future. Real madrid has some list of potential strikers at this moment.
Madrid should have been looking for players to replace Benzema with good quality for a long time. but it seems that Madrid is not yet matched with a deadly striker. was once interested in the PSG striker, but it seems difficult to get him.
Benzema may be taking a long break, and Madrid is reportedly interested in recruiting players in the transfer market. but nothing seems to suit Madrid yet.
