Real Madrid on Friday confirmed that forward Karim Benzema has signed a new deal that will keep him at the club until 2023.
The France forward's contract was due to expire next summer, however after losing club captain Sergio Ramos when his deal ran out earlier this year, the club have moved to ensure the same does not happen to Benzema.
