After all, and contrary to what was broadcast in the last few hours, Olympique Lyon will not receive any money from Real Madrid for the fact that Karim Benzema won the Golden Ball, an award given annually by France Football to the best player in the world.
According to the French television station RMC Sport, the agreement signed in 2009, when the striker was transferred to the Spaniards, in exchange for 35 million euros, included a clause worth one million euros, which would be activated if he received the distinction. .
However, that clause ended up expiring in June 2015, that is, when the term of the first contract signed between the French international and the Merengue emblem came to an end, so the French are not entitled to any compensation.
