Benzema To Inter Or Juventus

According to the latest reports, Inter and Juventus are trying to sign striker Karim Benzema from Olympique Lyon as he will surely be one of the hottest names during this summer transfer window.

The German website 4-4-2.com reports that the two Italian clubs will need to spend €30m in order to lure the young attacker away from Ligue 1 in the coming months.

This fee might sound too expensive for the Bianconeri, who are already spending well over €20m to sign Diego from Werder Bremen, thus leaving the door wide open for a Nerazzurri move, especially if Zlatan Ibrahimovic signs for Barcelona.

The Swedish player has in fact hinted that a move away from the Italian champions is quite possible this summer and the Blaugrana are the main candidates to sign him up according to the latest transfer rumours.

Benzema would therefore become Inter’s main target and with the transfer money from the possible Ibrahimovic sale, the club would have enough to seal the deal with Lyon.

However, Juventus and Inter are not the only clubs interested in signing the 21-year-old player, as other top European clubs want to sign him up, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United.
