Los Blancos are believed not to be frustrated with the time it's taking for Benzema to put pen to paper at the Santiago Bernabeu, but they are keen to confirm his future at the club as soon as possible. The club have, and are still, working under the assumption that the forward will be staying put, which is why they've pursued a deal for veteran striker Joselu to provide some offensive cover for Benzema.

33-year-old Joselu is available on a free due to Espanyol's relegation, and he will fill the role of an experienced veteran back-up. However, if Benzema does opt to leave, Los Blancos will need to sign a first-choice number nine this summer as well as Joselu.

90min understands that Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen are players that the club have a long-term interest in and, if Benzema left, they would possibly be under consideration this summer.
