Real Madrid director Emilio Butragueno is counting on Karim Benzema staying.
Butragueno is confident the striker will eventually sign a new deal.
He said, "Karim Benzema? Without a doubt, it's a pleasure to see him play. The great players are the ones who improve the game. You give the ball to Benzema and the game improves.
"He has enormous resources, a great ability to combine and a huge talent for playing in the penalty area.
"His performance is exceptional. In recent years he has taken on enormous responsibility and lived up to expectations. He is already a Real Madrid legend and I hope he will be with us for many years to come."
