Real Madrid have different plans for Bale and Benzema

Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale both want to stay at Real Madrid this summer but only one star is set to get his wish. It appears that Zinedine Zidane and company want to part ways with Bale while giving Benzema another chance to flourish in Spain.


Prominent journalist Guillem Balague told Sky Sports that he expects the La Liga giants to try to move Bale even though he’d like to stay for one more season. In sharp contrast, he believes Benzema has a chance to stay put. Although that could change if Real Madrid are successful in their efforts to acquire Robert Lewandowski.


None of this should be any real surprise to fan who’ve been following Real Madrid closely this season. Bale has been very effective when he’s been able to play, but a variety of injuries have limited him to just 22 appearances on the campaign.


Benzema hasn’t been quite as effective during his time on the pitch, but he’s been available more often. Real Madrid also want to keep hold of him due to their lack of any other true striker in the squad. Cristiano Ronaldo often plays the role for Los Blancos, but he isn’t a classic number ten.


The good news for Real Madrid is that Bale’s stock in England remains sky-high. Manchester United, Tottenham and a host of other Premier League clubs will be willing to spend big money to facilitate his return to England this summer. Real Madrid may not fully recoup the fee they paid Tottenham to bring Bale to Spain, but they could come pretty close.


Benzema’s stock across Europe isn’t quite as high. His character issue and advancing age are serious red flags for any club interested in taking him on. Real Madrid would likely have to accept a cut-rate fee for his services to convince a club to assume his massive wages.


The bottom line here is that Real Madrid are set to make serious changes this summer. Selling Bale could be just the beginning of a real exodus from Zinedine Zidane’s squad.
