Real Madrid chiefs make Benzema replacement call

Real Madrid have made a decision on signing a replacement for Karim Benzema.

Benzema is out of France's World Cup squad due to injury.

Marca says the directors have been by the Real Madrid captain's side at all times, so much so that they have reiterated they have no doubts over his immediate future.

Los Blancos aren't considering signing a new striker in the January transfer window. It's a thought that's never crossed their mind as they believe they have more than enough cover with Benzema and Rodrygo Goes.

The injury, untimely as it is, comes at a crucial moment. It means Benzema will miss the World Cup, but he isn't being cast to the side by Real Madrid. The club are confident that he will once again be at the center of the attack this season, and that he will continue to do so next season as well.
