As well as the further 12 months, Benzema will also get an improved wage give his jump in importance within the Real Madrid squad over recent seasons.

At the minute, Benzema doesn't want to pen any long contracts with the club and would rather take things in small increments so he isn't in a position where he is in Madrid but can't give his best.

The French striker has just turned 32 and in June 2022 when the new contract ends, he will be 34.
