Real Madrid’s French striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 not joining Manchester United
Real Madrid’s French striker, Karim Benzema, will be staying at the Bernabeu for at least another season, amidst reports the star player is unsettled at the club.
The player’s representative has distanced himself and his client from speculations in various newspapers, linking the Frenchman with a summer exit from Real Madrid and joining a Premier League club. He confirmed this to a leading Spanish daily by insisting
that Benzema has no intention of leaving the world’s most famous club.
A host of Premier League clubs are vying for Benzema’s signature should the Frenchman decide to move to Manchester United, Arsenal, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, among the club’s regularly credited with an interest in the former Lyon starlet.
The 23-year old http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international has made considerable improvements during the current campaign, scoring 19 goals in all competitions for the La Liga giants, with ten goals coming in his last eight games.
He had a disappointing first season at the Bernabeu after signing from Lyon for a staggering € 35 million in 2009. He seemingly struggled under the burden of a huge transfer fee and failed to justify his price-tag. This resulted in the French striker being
overlooked by Raymond Domenech for their World Cup squad.
Jose Mourinho publicly criticized the player’s mental strength, and labelled him lazy and undisciplined. But all that changed in the last few months with the Frenchman in red hot form.
Despite his recent form in front of goal, he continues to be linked with a move away from the club, with Sir Alex Ferguson a huge admirer. He has been monitoring the Frenchman since his Lyon days, but failed to get his man two years ago, with Benzema choosing
La Liga giants over Manchester United.
He is still believed to be maintaining an interest, should Real Madrid decide to offload Benzema in the summer.
Sources close to the situation revealed that the striker’s future depends on whether or not Mourinho intends to retain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526, who is currently on loan from Manchester City.
But Benzema’s agent, Karim Djaziri revealed that the player is definitely staying at Real Madrid,
“No, no, no, no...he will not be leaving Real Madrid this summer”.
