While several media outlets are reporting that he has decided to leave Real Madrid for Saudi Arabia, Karim Benzema strongly denied this hypothesis on the sidelines of the "Marca legend" trophy he received on Thursday evening.

On Thursday evening, Karim Benzema was presented with the "Marca Légende" trophy, awarded each year by the Madrid daily to legends of world sport. And inevitably, KB9 was asked about his future, at a time when rumors of a move to Saudi Arabia have never been stronger.

This afternoon, the renowned Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio even announced that Karim Benzema would make his departure official this Thursday during a press conference. Asked about his future at the Marca legend award ceremony, KB9 said the exact opposite.

"Reality isn't the internet".

"Will I stay at Real Madrid? For the moment yes, I'm here, I'm training well and there's a game on Sunday," the French striker of Real Madrid first answered, before being more offensive when the master of ceremonies asked him if he would soon talk about his future to the Real Madrid fans.

"Why should I talk about my future when I'm here in Madrid?" retorted Benzema, before adding, "Those who talk are on the internet. And reality isn't the internet. And what if Benzema finally caught everyone unawares by staying at Real?

A few minutes before this release, the Madrid daily AS, which announced yesterday that Benzema was close to Saudi Arabia, retroceded by stating that KB9 had not communicated anything to Real Madrid, nor to Florentino Pérez. This contradicts several other reports that have appeared on the subject in recent hours.
