Arsenal target Karim Benzema has dashed the Premiership outfit’s hopes of signing him after the forward has agreed to sign a contract extention at Champions League winners Real Madrid.
The Spanish outfit have avoided the 26 year old, Benzema leaving for free by agreeing an extension before his current deal runs out in 12 months. The Frenchman, who is preparing for a world cup quarter final against Germany, had previously stated his desire to stay at the bernabeu and now it seems he is going to get that.
Real were heavily linked with contrivaversial Liverpool forward Luis Suarez, but now it seems that fellow Spaniards Barcelona are front runners for the forward who has a four month ban.
Despite this, it is also rumored that the side are on the verge of signing Monaco forward Falcao.
Despite this, reports are that Benzema’s long term future does indeed lie at the Spanish giants.
