Would be interesting too see if he did come. I dont get too see him play all that much. what do you guys think he would be worth?

the minumum fee will be 30 million but of course if we did make a bid for him man city would easily put it up to 40-50 mill + .. imo the big summer transfer fees will all evolve around wether man city put in a bid.. lets hope they go for another striker if by some miracle we did make a bid.

look what happend with robinho <_<

Yeah, I think the chances of landing Benzema are very slim. Chelsea are no longer the top dogs in the transfer market and I think Karim is looking to pursuit a career in La Liga instead of the premier league.

basicly we need to make the most of the fact man-city are not in the champions league

because they are going through problems, which is why this is the summer to get benzema or another big name who dont wanna end up being mid-table with robinho.

It would be nice to inject some youth on our squad, but at what price? The transfer fee we're talking about is quite hefty and which Chelsea players would you sell for him? I'd probably let Deco, Anelka, and Carvalho go.

France striker Karim Benzema is set to join Real Madrid from Lyon for a fee believed to be €35m (£30m) after the two clubs reached agreement, French radio station RMC said today. A few details, notably salary and the length of his contract, still needed to be settled, RMC said, quoting the player's agent, Karim Djaziri. "Benzema will sign for Real Madrid tonight," he said.

A spokesman for Lyon, however, said that no deal had yet been agreed. "We have received an offer which is substantially higher than the figures being talked about and nothing is to say that it is from Real Madrid," Olivier Blanc told L'Equipe. "We haven't agreed a deal with anyone [yet]."

Claude Puel, the coach of the French team, appeared resigned to losing the player yesterday when he said that the club would have to look at the "financial figures". "We know his importance at OL and his efficiency in our squad," he told the club website. "He's an exceptional player but we also know the financial figures of the club."

And last night, after the unveiling of Kaká, the Real Madrid sporting director, Jorge Valdano, said: "We do not discard the possibility that in the next few hours, something could happen."

Benzema, 21, developed at Lyon and helped them win four Ligue 1 titles. He has won 24 caps for France, scoring six goals. Several top European clubs, including Manchester United, had expressed an interest in the promising forward.

17.43 Real Madrid have completed the signing of Lyon striker Karim Benzema for an initial £30million fee. The France international had also been a target for Manchester United and the deal could eventually rise to £35million.

Transfert de Karim Benzema au Real Madrid

L’Olympique Lyonnais informe d’un accord avec le Real Madrid sur les modalités d’un transfert de son attaquant international Karim BENZEMA pour un montant net minimum de 35 M€ auxquels pourront s’ajouter différents bonus liés aux performances sportives, permettant d’atteindre un montant maximum de transfert de 41 M€ net.

Il y a quelques jours, Karim BENZEMA a informé le Président Jean Michel AULAS de son souhait de rejoindre plus rapidement qu’il ne l’avait envisagé initialement le club madrilène qui a toujours eu sa préférence après l’O.L.

Le joueur a souhaité saisir ainsi l’opportunité que lui offrait le Real Madrid d’être l’un des éléments majeurs de sa nouvelle politique ambitieuse autour de certains des plus grands joueurs mondiaux.

L’Olympique Lyonnais a accepté la décision de Karim BENZEMA et il a négocié les conditions d’un transfert qui donnent satisfaction aux différentes parties.

Le club souhaite à Karim la plus grande réussite avec le Real Madrid qui bénéficie pour développer son ambitieux projet sportif de dispositions législatives (notamment en matière de sponsoring, jeux et paris en ligne avec Bwin) mais aussi fiscales et immobilières (fiscalité des sportifs étrangers et valorisation foncière privée pour le stade) incomparables avec la situation en vigueur actuellement en France pour le sport professionnel.

Done deal. Topic closed.

I would happily see Man Utd sign Owen

Could be a shrewd signing for them if its a pay per play deal and he remains injury free. He'll definitely get better service than he did at the barcodes anyway.

As for Madrid, I still dont think they will win the CL, they will still ship goals.

Barca to win La Ligue and CL to really fuck them off :)
