Neither Kane, Haaland nor Mbappe, Real Madrid chose the 80 million star replacement for Karim Benzema

The European pass market promises to be one of the busiest in recent years. With the possible departures of the stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano from their respective clubs, now they have been joined by another who used to fight for the Golden Boot in the Spanish league. This is Karim Benzema, the fearsome Real Madrid striker who came to this institution in 2009, almost together with CR7.

After winning five UEFA Champions Leagues and scoring more than 350 goals at the White House, the 35-year-old Frenchman could bring closure to his stay there. It is that his contract in Spain expires on June 30, he did not receive a specific offer to renew it and to top it off, the prestigious Fabrizio Romano revealed that he has an offer from Saudi Arabia of 200 million dollars per year! Just monstrous.

At the same time, Florentino Pérez does not intend to leave the lead to a youth player from the club like the Uruguayan Álvaro Rodríguez, and plans to break the piggy bank to acquire a replacement worthy of the circumstances. In this framework, the figure of Lautaro Martínez appears, who competes with Harry Kane and his friend Julián Álvarez to dress in white next season.

The salary that Real Madrid could pay Lautaro Martínez

For this, two items must be taken into account. One of them is the sum that he currently receives at Inter Milan, which is close to 6 million euros. Although he is very good, the Frenchman earns 20 million in Spain, so Pérez could settle him with an amount that ranges between 10 and 15 million, given his status as world champion with the Argentine National Team in Qatar 2022.
