For Benzema, Liverpool ignored the owner’s policy

DBasia.news – Liverpool are reportedly hunting for Real Madrid striker, Karim Benzema. In order to sign Benzema, the Reds has set aside the owner’s policy in the transfer market.

Benzema’s contract with Real Madrid will expire in June 2023. Reportedly, Madrid wants to bring in younger strikers such as Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe.

In fact, El Nacional reports, if Mbappe and Haaland comes next summer, Benzema’s departure is more likely. Seeing this situation, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool were attracted.

The rumor that Benzema is on PSG’s radar makes sense. Benzema will return to his hometown. In addition, PSG needs a new striker to replace Kylian Mbappe who is increasingly leaning towards Madrid.

Then, the question that arises is does Liverpool really need Benzema? In terms of productivity, Benzema is unquestionable. The striker is getting more mature at his age.

Since coming out of Cristiano Ronaldo’s shadow three years ago, Benzema’s sharpness has skyrocketed. This season, Benzema has scored 12 goals and provided 11 assists in LaLiga.

In addition, Benzema’s value is believed to be low. The former Olympique Lyon only has one year remaining on his contract in the summer of 2022. Liverpool are also believed able to pay Benzema the same amount he currently receives, 170,000 pounds.

Liverpool has also temporarily put aside FSG’s policy as the owner in the transfer market in the Benzema case. Indeed, FSG does not want Liverpool to bring in players who are old. Currently, Benzema is 34 years old.
