A future in the United States for Benzema?

At the microphone of ESPN, Karim Benzema spoke of his future after the Champions League match Shakhtar Donetsk-Real Madrid (0-5) on Tuesday night. And hinted that he was watching MLS. “I will be 34 in December. I just feel better and better so I keep playing. I love the United States. Football is improving there. Am I telling you that I will sign in MLS? For the moment I am in Madrid“, said the French international, under contract with the Merengue until June 2023.

• Our opinion : Everything will depend on his physical condition in two years. But at this rate, he can still shine for several seasons at Real Madrid.

Towards a lively winter transfer window for OL?

Asked about OL TV, Jean-Michel Aulas did not hide that Olympique Lyonnais was considering recruiting during the winter transfer window. “We always work on the arrival of players, it’s Juni’s work that he does very, very well, he has identified players here and there, first declared the president of OL who will have to replace his internationals who will leave for CAN at the beginning of 2022. There are of course assumptions. If we can, as we have done in some years, anticipate the summer transfer window…We are working on it, we have touches, there are things that are in progress, we cannot talk about it too much for confidentiality reasons.”

• Our opinion : While Karl Toko Ekambi (Cameroon), Islam Slimani (Algeria) and Tino Kadewere (Zimbabwe) should play the Africa Cup of Nations, OL could therefore recruit on the offensive plan.
