The Benzema to Arsenal rumor.

Hmm how to start this post? Well, I was away when this rumor started, it all started with a tweet from @RMADRIDFC which says:

What's going on?

 "It's not a rumor anymore, it's a formal thing... Wenger (Arsenal) insists that he wants Benzema.. Arsenal have made a 25 million euros bid for the frenchman!"

I don't know wether that account is a reliable source or not, but having almost 8000 followers, it MAY be a reliable source. I've been looking for news on that rumor on webpages such as As and Marca, I've only found one in RTVE.es, and again I don't know if that's a reliable source or not, but it MAY be.

And it says:

'Arsenal want to have Karim Benzema as a reinforcement for next season, they have made a 25 million euros bid for him and it might be accepted by Real Madrid'

'The Frenchman's ausence in La Copa del Rey final and in the UCL semifinal, makes you think that Mourinho doesn't want him at Real Madrid next season, and Arsenal have shown interes in the player's services'

Benzema in his presentation for Real Madrid

Benzema signed for Real Madrid in July first, 2009. Coming from OL, and he signed a 6-year contract. But, since Mourinho arrived to Real Madrid, he hasn't had much playing time as he wants to have, so the player is unhappy.

Benzema has scored 23 goals in 45 matches this season, he's a real threat.

Let me tell you, if you forgot it, that we've been linked to him since 2009. A rumor that persists for that time might come true, signing Chamakh is an example.

We were interested on him in 2009 before Real Madrid bought him, according to a rumor, we were going to offer 35 million euros on that time.

Then, in January, 2011, Real Madrid were ready to offer him to Arsenal in exchange of the French left-back Gael Clichy.

And now, this rumor. With Kroenke ready to spend, it could come true this time.

Arsene Wenger is certainly a fan of him, and he might fit well with so many french players we have, also his signing would give us the long-awaited change of formation, as we would play with two strikers, him and Robin Van Persie.

If we sign him my line up for next season would be like this (in my opinion):

Sczszesny

Sagna-Mertesacker-Vermaelen-Clichy

Walcott-Fabregas (Song)-Wilshere-Nasri

RVP-Benzema

In red are my projected signings for next season, I'm considering that Cesc might leave so that's why I wrote Song there between parentheses.

Why would I like Mertesacker? He's so good in the air, and that's what we certainly lack.

Bring on the next season!
