Real Madrid were left blindsided from the rumors that Karim Benzema may leave this summer. The French striker was considered unsellable at Bernabeu, but he received a stunning €100 million/year offer from Saudi Arabia.
He will talk with the club’s management by the end of the week to say what his decision is. If he decides to leave, Real may look at Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison.

The Brazilian was bought by Spurs last summer, but faced a serious battle with Harry Kane for starting place, which he lost because of bad plays and couple of injuries. At the same time Carlo Ancelotti brought Richarlison to the scene in their shared time at Everton and the player will definitely want to reunite with the manager.
