Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema neither confirmed nor denied that he will leave Los Blancos for Saudi Arabia. Instead, he heaped praise on Real Madrid and the team’s fans, which happened when the Frenchman was presented with the Marca Leyenda award on Thursday.

The striker did not want to comment on his future, as according to all the world’s media he has already made his decision to move to the team from Saudi Arabia Al-Ittihad, which offers him a multi-million offer. “I was a child when I came to Real Madrid, 21 years old. There is no other club like Real Madrid that plays in a stadium like the Santiago Bernabeu – the place where the greatest players have played. I only thought about enjoying myself and winning trophies and in the end I see that I have won a lot with Real Madrid,” he began.

The Frenchman had kind words for club president Florentino Perez: “He is the man who allowed me to be here today. The man who signed Zinedine Zidane and the man who brought me to Real Madrid. Will I stay? For now I have a game coming up at the weekend, I’m training tomorrow, so I’m in Madrid at the moment. Then we’ll see. Shall we talk about my future? Why should I say anything? Were people talking? This is the internet. Reality is not the internet,” he commented.
