Real Madrid legend Benzema sends messages to Vinícius Jr. and Luka Modrić | OneFootball

The latest social media activity on the part of ex-Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has piqued attentions across the Blancos’ fanbase this weekend.

As much comes after the Frenchman sent public messages the way of both Vinícius Jr, and Luka Modrić.

In the case of the former, Benzema, known to share a close bond with Vinícius following their shared time in Spain’s capital, moved to wish the Brazilian a happy birthday.

Taking to his official Instagram account, the Al-Ittihad star unveiled a photo of he and his former teammate, accompanied by the caption:

‘Happy Birthday hermanito’

And Benzema soon followed up with a social media message to another long-time Blancos star.

Luka Modrić is of course fresh off taking to the pitch in the colours of Real Madrid for the very last time earlier this week.

After the Croatian took to Instagram to post a farewell message to the Spanish heavyweights, Benzema in turn responded, writing:

‘N10’, accompanied by a love heart emoji.
