Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has categorically denied recent reports suggesting that Karim Benzema might be making a return to the club. Labeling the rumours as “fake news,” Ancelotti made it clear that there have been no discussions with the club regarding the potential comeback of the former Real Madrid striker.
Ancelotti stated, “Reports of Karim Benzema back to Real Madrid are fake. It’s fake news.” He further emphasized his lack of communication on this matter with the club, saying, “I did not speak to the club about Karim Benzema and potential return.”
The Italian coach, who is currently at the helm of Real Madrid, has thus put to rest any speculation about Benzema rejoining the Madrid squad. Benzema, who has been a key player in his time at Real Madrid, has not been linked with a move back to the club through any official channels. Ancelotti’s comments serve to clarify the club’s stance on the matter.
