Karim’s cooling on move
KARIM Benzema could snub a switch to Manchester United and Arsenal and remain in France ahead of next year’s World Cup.
Lyon’s Benzema is a target for the Premier League duo and has been attracting the interest of Real Madrid.
But agent Karim Djaziri insists Benzema is in no hurry to land a big money move to England or Spain and is willing to stay in France for another season.
Djaziri said: “You can never say definitely in football, but Karim is on holiday and before he left he said he wanted to stay at Lyon for one more year. Then, if there is an offer we will take a look at it.”
United’s hopes of landing Frank Ribery took another dent after Bayern Munich issued a statement saying: “The directors have made the overwhelming resolution that Franck Ribery is not for sale.”
