Karim Benzema, forward for Al Ittihad and immortal legend of Real Madrid, could be experiencing the last months of his professional career. Despite the Saudi club's hope to have the Frenchman until June 2026, the latest information suggests that the striker could hang up his boots at the end of this season. At 36 years old, with an indelible legacy in both Europe and the Middle East, Benzema's farewell would mark the end of an era in world football.
Karim Benzema's retirement, very close
The Frenchman's decision would be motivated by the desire to end his career at a time when he can still compete at the highest level. At Al Ittihad, Benzema has shown that his quality remains intact, but he has also been aware of the physical wear and tear involved in maintaining his prominent status. Although his contract with the Arab team involves several more years of activity, the player himself could choose to prioritize other personal and professional projects outside the field.
After a career filled with numerous titles, including five Champions League trophies with Real Madrid and a Ballon d'Or that cemented his status as one of the best of his generation, Benzema seems to have already defined his future post-retirement. His return to the white club, not as a player but as an ambassador, would be the next chapter in a success story built wearing the merengue shirt. This role will allow him to remain connected to the club that shaped his career.
The announcement of his official retirement, if it happens, will bring an end to an exceptional career and leave a void that will be hard to fill in world football. However, his return to Real Madrid in a different role ensures that the bond between the French forward and the club will be eternal.
