A very small sentence. Nothing more. But which will not fail to speak in Spain and France. Asked on RTL on Monday about a possible arrival of Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid this season or in the near future, Karim Benzema replied with a smile. “We will see what happens but he is welcome in Madrid, he says, light-minded on his teammate in selection. He has all the qualities to be, perhaps one day, a Madrid player. ” At the end of his contract with Paris SG in June 2022, the 22-year-old world champion is ardently courted by the White House but finds himself above all at the center of pressing negotiations with his current club, which has no intention of letting go. To date, the case has not yet found a definitive outcome, either for an extension in Paris or a departure abroad.
́ will be "welcome to Madrid"!

Meeting since Wednesday in Clairefontaine to prepare for the Euro (June 11-July 11) with the Blues, Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé suggest good arrangements on the ground.
During the collective sessions of the week, open to the media, the duo, also accompanied by Antoine Griezmann, work on their ranges to perfect a still new connection.
Asked about the Parisian at a press conference on Sunday for his comeback in front of the French media, the Madrilenian had nothing but compliments to bring him.
“He's a young player, as I said, he's a phenomenon,” he admits.
I was able to train with him, I like this player because we play with a touch of the ball, there are a lot of movements, he puts a lot of speed, he is skilful in front of the cage ... I don't need to tell you what type of player he is but he is a very, very good player ”
