KARIM BENZEMA

Karim Benzema is one of the greatest Real Madrid players and there is a reason why he has always been a consistent starter at the club despite facing constant criticism. The 4-time Champions League winner though may be at the Santiago Bernabeu only due to the faith he shares with Zidane and other managers may prefer to employ Luka Jovic at this point in time.

Benzema, albeit looking unlikeliest of the lot to leave, could part company with the club sooner than later if the person who always manages to get the best out of him leaves. Despite not being the best scorer in the world, Big Benz has stepped up big time and his exit could be a damaging prospect for the club.

Which other players do you think will be adversely affected by Zidane’s departure?
