Benzema signed a new contract at Real Madrid today, which has a huge €1billion release clause.
The decision to give the France international a new deal has left many followers of La Liga stunned, with the striker struggling for form so far this season.
However, Spanish outlet Don Balon claim Benzema could yet leave the club despite committing his future to the Spanish giants.
It is said he could be used in a stunning swap deal that would see PSG striker Cavani make the move to the Bernabeu.

Last season, the Uruguay international struck a huge 49 goals to fire Unai Emery’s side close to the Ligue 1 title.
But, with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe now having arrived, the 30-year-old’s future is uncertain.
Reports have even spectacularly said that Neymar wants Cavani sold after clashing with the forward over set-piece duties during their 2-0 win over Lyon at the weekend.
And that could play into Real’s hands.

Don Balon add that club president Florentino Perez is a huge admirer of Cavani.
And they may even be able to make a profit on Benzema if any deal for the PSG striker is struck.
Cavani has been at the Parc des Prince since arriving from Napoli in the summer of 2013.
He has spent much of his time in Paris in the shadow of Zlatan Ibrahimovic but showed last season he is capable of playing the role of lead actor.
