‘Thanks, until next time’: Benzema to leave for season – and perhaps his time at Real Madrid

Real Madrid’s talisman Karim Benzema turned to vacuum therapy once again with the intention of continuing his trophy-filled career.

The 35-year-old striker ended the season with a terrible cut on his leg that required stitches.

Benzema delivered an update on Monday with suction devices on his leg to gently heal the wound and also on his back to repair the muscles.

He posted a photo on Instagram with the message: “Thanks, see you next time.”

Real Madrid fans hope this means he could stay despite a mega-money offer to join the Saudi Pro League this summer.

Benzema signed a one-year contract extension last season but has reportedly received an offer worth more than 173 million to move to the Middle East for two years.

Benzema has had a hit-and-miss season on the pitch for Real, as they won just one of the three trophies they competed for – as well as the Club World Cup – lifting only the Copa del Rey in what was a disappointing year.

Los Blancos were knocked out by Barcelona in the LaLiga title race, while Manchester City knocked them out in the Champions League semi-finals.

Benzema is now 35 and Real’s longest-serving player, but according to Relevo, he could leave this summer after 14 years at the club.

He also tweeted a picture of the vacuum treatment on his back.

The treatment is a traditional Chinese technique that enables free blood circulation.

Benzema pointed to a gruesome gash on his leg that required stitches, which he received in Los Blancos’ 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday.

The Frenchman, who won the Ballon d’Or earlier this season after being voted the world’s best player in 2022, shared a video after the match of the affected area being stitched up, where Real players used to wear the 20 shirt. start.

After the Bernabeu encounter, the striker has a painful-looking wound below the third and fourth toes on his right foot.

The injury is believed to have come after a challenge early in the game when the Vallecano player hit his leg just 10 minutes in.

After a tough challenge, Benzema was often seen limping and moaning throughout the game, although he refused the chance to be substituted and wanted to grit his teeth and carry on.
