DBasia.news – In 2009, Florentino Perez became the president of Real Madrid, the only candidate. At that time, Perez promised to solve the problems inside and outside the field.
Not too long, Perez showed his strength. In his first season as the president, Perez spent 96 million euro to get Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, 67 million euro for Kaka from AC Milan, and 35 million euro for Karim Benzema from Olympique Lyon.
Moreover, the other team like Xabi Alonso, Esteban Granero, Alvaro Arbeloa, Ezequiel Garay, and Raul Albiol. In total, Los Blancos spent not less than 254 million euro at that time.
But, at that time, the presence of star players didn’t equal the achievements. Real Madrid failed to pass the 16-round of Champions League and couldn’t compete Barcelona in La Liga though collecting 96 points.
From all the star players, there is only Karim Benzema left wearing the Real Madrid jersey. If calculated, the France striker has been playing for Real Madrid for nine years.
While Cristiano Ronaldo was the latest player decided to leave Real Madrid. The Portuguese striker chose to continue his career with Serie A giant, Juventus.
But, Karim Benzema career in Santiago Bernabeu is still a mystery considering the meeting with AC Milan. Seems like both of them agreed to 9 million euro salary-a-year.
Hearing this rumor, Benzema reacted. He said it’s just an issue.
For now, Benzema is ready to fight with the new Galacticos along with Vinicius Junior to keep the dominance of Real Madrid under Julen Lopetegui leadership. But it’s important to remember that the 2018 summer transfer window is still open, as well of the ending probability of Galacticos second round.
