In July of 2009, Real Madrid signed Karim Benzema from Lyon. The initial agreement was worth 35 million euros plus add ons, and the contract was a six year deal.
The Frenchman has now spent thirteen seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu. He has appeared in a toal of 603 matches, across which he has scored 323 goals and made 137 assists. His goal tally now puts him level with club legend Raul and he will surely surpass the Spaniard as Benzema is not ready to hang up his Real Madrid boots just yet.
Both Benzema and Raul are second to Cristiano Ronaldo in the all time top Real Madrid goalscorers list. The Frenchman has some way to go to match CR7's tally, which stands at 451.
