“A move away? When you’re at a club, especially one like Real Madrid, and are getting regular minutes then you have no reason to look for a move elsewhere.” Benzema told BeIn Sports last week.
“There are six or seven players here who have now been playing together for six or seven years, I think this is one of Real Madrid’s best periods ever, it’s that simple because the team is really very strong.”
The Frenchman has won a total of 14 trophies at the Bernabeu, including two La Liga and three Champions League titles.
