The Groupama Stadium chief is optimistic that the French striker will re-trace his steps before he reaches the end of his career
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas hopes Real Madrid star Karim Benzema could return to the French club one day.
Benzema began his career at Lyon back in 2004 and spent five years on their books before being snapped up by Madrid for an initial fee of €35 million (£30m/$41m).
The France international has since established himself as one of the top centre-forwards in Europe and recently signed a contract extension at Santiago Bernabeu, but Aulas still believes that he could retrace his steps in the future.
