Karim Benzema: Real Madrid to Arsenal
The north London club and Los Blancos have been locked together in negotiations for the France international for the past few days now as the Uefa Champions League winners prepare to free up space in attack for the arrival of Liverpool striker Luis Suarez at the Santiago Bernabeu next season.
And with the 26-year-old’s current deal in the Spanish capital only having just over a year left to run on it, Madrid are keen to offload their highly rated marksman this summer rather than risk losing the player on a Bosman free this time next year.
