Will Benzema back to Lyon dreams - Report

So far this season, Karim Benzema has been unable to display his Ballon d'Or-winning form for Real Madrid. Benzema's performance came after another disappointing performance at the El Clásico weekend; there have been calls for the former France international to be sued. The 35-year-old has been plagued by fitness issues throughout most of the season, which has affected his performances for the European champions, though he is set to continue in the Spanish capital for at least another year, as he is said to be close to signing a new contract. After next season, all will wait to predict where Benzema could end up in his career. A return to Lyon, where he began his footballing career, is a possibility.
Olympique Lyonnais chairman Jean-Michel Aulas says he would like to bring Karim Benzema back to the club at the earliest opportunity, in any capacity." Of course, as soon as we have the opportunity to bring him back, we will," he told French broadcaster Europe 1. "I don't know how exactly - whether as a player or as a coach - but in any case, it's true that it's a dream I have."
Benzema was one of Real Madrid's legends, but his fame at the club slowly began to fade as he reached the later stages of his career. Karim moved to Real Madrid from Lyon in 2009. since that time, the Real Madrid captain has achieved everything with the Royal team, most notably 5 Champions League titles.
