Karim Benzema to leave Real Madrid if Erling Braut Haaland joins?

Karim Benzema could leave Real Madrid if Erling Braut Haaland joins the Spanish giants, according to a report.

The French international striker has contributed 17 goals and seven assists in 20 La Liga appearances this season, as Real look to regain the Spanish title.

However, according to Catalan online news outlet El Nacional, the 34-year-old is considering leaving the capital after 13 years at the club following his move from Lyon back in 2009.

The outlet reports that Benzema is unhappy with the repeated pursuits of both Kylian Mbappe and Dortmund striker Haaland, which would potentially leave the club legend with a bit-part role.

With his contract expiring in the summer of 2023, Real president Florentino Perez has been keen to tie down the Frenchman's future until the end of his career, but to this point, Benzema has rejected those contract offers.

The report continues with the interest of Paris Saint-Germain in Benzema's services, particularly if Zinedine Zidane were to take over in the French capital.

Such a move would see Benzema link up with former Barcelona forwards Neymar and Lionel Messi, should Mbappe make the move in the other direction as well.
