Juventus is reportedly looking to bolster its attacking options for the next season, with Karim Benzema emerging as a potential target. The French striker, currently playing for Real Madrid, has attracted interest from the Turin club, according to reports from Tuttomercato.
However, the prospect of prying Benzema away from Real Madrid might not be straightforward. Despite a challenging start to the season, Benzema has regained his form and confidence, becoming one of Madrid’s consistent goal scorers. With 14 goals in 23 games, he has demonstrated his value to the team.
Moreover, there are indications that Benzema and Real Madrid are considering extending his contract, which is currently set to expire in June 2015. Reports from Marca suggest that Benzema is interested in extending his contract until either 2018 or 2020. This could pose a significant obstacle for Juventus in their pursuit of the striker.
