Karim Benzema has decided to remain part of Real Madrid.

The French striker is said to have accepted the extension of his contract with the Madrid club.

The 33-year-old striker's current contract expires in 2022. But the Spanish club's leaders will offer him a two-year deal which would keep him in Spain until 2024.

Benzema has scored 30 goals and made nine assists this season with the "Kings". He has been part of the Spanish club since 2009 when he was transferred from Lyon.
