According to the source, an Italian specialist approached Perez with the aim of signing the 36-year-old footballer on loan until the end of the current season. At the same time, it is emphasized that the Real Madrid president is skeptical about Benzema's return.
It is worth recalling that the media had previously reported that Benzema was unhappy with his stay at Al-Ittihad and asked the club's management to temporarily release him. However, after that, the player himself said that this information was unreliable.
Benzema played for the 'Meringues' from 2009 to 2023. He was an integral part of the Real Madrid team during that time, helping the club win numerous titles, including 4 UEFA Champions League trophies.
Benzema's departure from Real Madrid in 2023 came as a surprise to many, as he had been a key player for the Spanish giants for over a decade. The Frenchman had become a legend at the Bernabéu, known for his clinical finishing, impressive assists and ability to perform under pressure.
Despite his advanced age, Benzema has remained consistently fit and has continued to be one of the best strikers in world football. His move to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia was seen as a lucrative opportunity for the player to end his career, while also helping to raise the profile of the Saudi league.
However, it seems that Benzema has not settled in as well as expected in the Middle East. The report suggests that he is now looking to return to Europe, with his former club Real Madrid being a potential destination. The fact that the Italian pundit has approached Perez about a loan deal indicates that the Spanish club could be interested in bringing Benzema back, even if the president is not entirely convinced.
It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out in the coming weeks and months. Benzema's potential return to Real Madrid would be a major storyline, given his legendary status at the club and the impact he had during his previous tenure. Fans of the Spanish giants would no doubt be delighted at the prospect of seeing the Frenchman back in the famous white jersey.
Whether Benzema returns to Real Madrid or not, his time at the club has cemented his place as one of the greatest players in the club's illustrious history. His goalscoring exploits, leadership and ability to perform on the biggest stages have earned him a permanent place in the hearts of Real Madrid fans.
