The Frenchman's future has been the subject of much speculation over the last few days.

Multiple reports have emerged that the 35-year-old is set to end his 14-year stay at Real Madrid this summer in favour of a move to the Middle East.

According to Football Espana, the Ballon d'Or winner has decided to join Al-Ittihad.

Despite committing to Real Madrid for an additional year, Benzema appears to have changed his mind about the issue.

The former Lyon forward has now addressed the speculation surrounding his future at the Santiago Bernabeu.

After receiving the MARCA Leyenda award on Thursday, Benzema seemed to quell concerns that he would leave this summer.

“At the moment I’m at Real Madrid, and this Sunday we have a game," he said via Marca.

“Why am I going to talk about my future if I’m at Real Madrid? Those who talk about my future are on the Internet, and the Internet is not reality.”

It remains to be seen how Benzema’s situation plays out.

His departure from Real Madrid was set to be officially announced soon, but his latest comments have raised doubt over the situation.
