Karim Benzema Reportedly Will Sign New Madrid Deal Despite Kylian Mbappe Talk

Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema will reportedly sign a new five-year deal with the club before the start of the La Liga season.

According to Pablo Polo of Marca, while Madrid are pushing hard to sign Kylian Mbappe from Monaco, they want to keep Benzema around, too, with manager Zinedine Zidane believing the current Los Blancos No. 9 is "untouchable."

"Zidane is aware that the task of rotating minutes around the two France internationals, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale would be a challenge, especially as the potential new signing would wish for continued playing time," it's added.
