Manchester United Target Karim Benzema as Real Madrid Shake-up Continues
Real Madrid’s recent decision to part ways with manager Carlo Ancelotti has sparked speculation over further changes at the club, including potential player departures this summer.
One notable name linked with a move is French striker Karim Benzema, who has emerged as Manchester United’s top transfer target. With Radamel Falcao’s loan spell at Old Trafford ending and the Colombian returning to Monaco, the Red Devils are actively seeking a proven striker to bolster their attacking options.
According to The Sun, Manchester United have made a €56 million bid for Benzema, hoping to convince Real Madrid to part ways with the Algerian-born forward. Benzema has been a key figure at the Santiago Bernabéu, known for his goal-scoring ability and link-up play, making the potential transfer a significant move for both clubs.
Real Madrid’s willingness to sell remains uncertain, with Benzema’s importance to the squad likely to weigh heavily on any decision. The club’s response to the bid and their broader summer transfer strategy will be closely watched.
For Manchester United, securing Benzema would represent a major coup and signal serious intent to strengthen their frontline following a challenging season.
As the transfer window heats up, all eyes will be on Madrid and Manchester as they negotiate what could be one of the summer’s most high-profile deals.
