Karim Benzema, Real Madrid Agree on New Contract Until 2021

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has committed his future to the club in the form of a new long-term contract.

The forward's decision to extend his stay at the Santiago Bernabeu was confirmed by the club on Wednesday, with Benzema signing on until 2021.

In recent seasons, the Frenchman has been consistently linked with a move away from the Spanish capital. However, Benzema has ended any lingering speculation that he could be on his way out of Madrid with this deal.

The former Lyon man may not be the most breathtaking attacker in this Los Blancos squad as things stand, but throughout his time at the club, he's played an understatedly significant role.
