Lyon whizkid Benzema on Real Madrid’s wish list

Real Madrid are very interested in signing French whizkid Karim Benzema but were told that they must meet the £40 million price tag if they want to prise Karim Benzema away from Olympique Lyon.

Jean-Michel Aulas, the Lyon president, has slapped the mega price-tag on Benzema after it was revealed this week that Real Madrid are tracking the young midfielder’s progress this season.

It seems to me that Real Madrid will definitely get this player as their current star forwards Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Raul are over the age of 30 and there is a need to replace these players with younger and more fresh players and Karim Benzema will definitely fit the bill.
