Tonight the winner of the Ballon d’Or for best footballer of the season will be announced and all the pools point to Karim Benzema as the top favorite to win the award for his enormous performance last season with the real Madrid. In addition, if the French striker ends up lifting this trophy, he will have one more joy to celebrate since he will see his contract with the merengue team automatically renewed.
According to accountReliefRelief‘, the Frenchman has a clause in his contract that allows him to extend his contract for another year automatically in the event that he wins the Ballon d’Or, something that will almost certainly happen. Benzema has a relationship with Real Madrid until the end of this season, so his contract would be extended until June 30, 2024. Let’s remember that this December Benzema will be 35 years old, but it seems that age is just a number for him since he is showing his best version in recent years.
Florentino will give the green light
Real Madrid is very happy to have in its squad Karim Benzema since he is one of the ‘spoiled’ of President Florentino Pérez. The head of the merengue team has always been the defender of the Frenchman in bad times and now, that he is at the peak of his career, he is very happy and proud of him, since they have been united by a great friendship for many years. Despite the fact that he will be automatically renewed if he wins the Ballon d’Or, Real Madrid was not going to let him go either, the idea was to renew him.
