On that note, here’s a look at the key Real Madrid transfer stories as on 5th April 2022:

Karim Benzema wants Kylian Mbappe at Santiago Bernabeu

Karim Benzema believes Real Madrid could score a lot of goals if Kylian Mbappe moves to the Santiago Bernabeu. The PSG star is inching closer to the final few months of his contract with the Parisians and is likely to move this summer. La Liga giants Madrid are the favourites to secure his services on a Bosman move.

Los Blancos’ pursuit of the 23-year-old has Benzema’s seal of approval. The 34-year-old spoke to L’Equipe, as cited by Marca, on a wide array of topics. Benzema began by saying that there are no favourites in the Champions League quarterfinals.

The Real Madrid striker went on to express a desire to play alongside Mbappe for Los Blancos, saying they complement each other well.

Benzema also spoke about Vinicius Junior’s exceptional form this season.
