Benzema's Real Madrid deal to be automatically renewed if he wins the Ballon d'Or - Relevo

Karim Benzema has a special clause in his contract that would extend his current Real Madrid contract by another year if he ends up winning the prestigious Ballon d’Or award this year, Relevo reports.

Benzema, 34, sees his current Madrid deal expiring in June 2023 and it has been established that those involved are not really worried about the situation.

First, his relationship with the Madrid management is unbreakable - the Frenchman has proven how crucial he is for the team and second, he is highly tipped to win arguably the most reputed individual award in football tonight.

For now, everyone, including the player, expects that a manual negotiation would not be necessary as once he is adjudged with the honour, he will automatically remain a Madridista until 2024.
