JAKARTA - Real Madrid player Karim Benzema has threatened to leave if the club signed Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland in the summer of 2022.
Haaland is the main priority of the transfer in the regeneration that Los Blancos want to do. Haaland's presence in this team is projected to replace Benzema, who is now 34 years old.
Reporting from El Nacional, Tuesday, January 18, the player has already talked about his future with the club president, Florentino Perez. He asked the club to let him go if Haaland was really brought in.
On the other hand, the French passport player's contract is also about to expire at the Bernabeu. Exactly in June 2023, his term of service will end and he can go for free.
If you look at the market value, the official price for Benzema is currently also quite cheap, which is 28 million euros or around IDR 434 billion if a club wants to redeem it in the transfer market next summer.
Regarding Benzema's status, the Ligue 1 giants, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are allegedly the frontrunners to accommodate the vice-captain of Los Blancos if he really leaves. Given, Mauricio Pochettino's team is also looking for a replacement striker for Mauro Icardi who is currently being targeted by Juventus.
For PSG, the presence of Benzema will be a distinct advantage, because the striker has recorded a slick score this season with a collection of 24 goals from 27 appearances.

Apart from Benzema's situation, Haaland himself has yet to determine his future with Borussia Dortmund. However, the latest news says he will soon choose because the team management continues to press him.
However, Madrid's chance to bring in Haaland will not be easy to achieve either. Because, apart from the threat of Benzema, they also have to compete with rivals, Barcelona who are also interested.
Madrid again found a steep path because Barca had a better way. After all, Joan Laporta had a special closeness with Mino Raiola as Haaland's agent.
