Gunners prepared to meet Real Madrid’s asking price

Arsenal are set to make a formal bid for Real Madrid star Karim Benzema.

The Gunners are interested in landing a new striker this summer and it’s public knowledge that Arsene Wenger is a huge admirer of his French counterpart.

Wenger has been monitoring Benzema since his Lyon days back in Ligue 1, but after the star-striker completed his move to the Bernabeu, it looked like Wenger would never get his desire to have the 27-year-old in his side.

Madrid Could Sell Striker

However, Madrid are considering selling the target-man as they continue to track Sergio Aguero from Manchester City, and according to reports this morning, Arsenal will launch a formal offer for Benzema worth around £18m.

Benzema netted 22 goals last season for the La Liga giants, but according to reports, Florentino Perez wouldn’t be against selling him if a formal offers comes in.

Rivaled Interest

Manchester United have also shown interest in the Frenchman.
