Lyon president Aulas: I'd prefer to sell Benzema to Real Madrid

Olympique Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas says if he must sell Karim Benzema, he would prefer to send him to Real Madrid.

"Karim has always expressed his desire to stay in Lyon. The club also wants him to stay and to build the team around him," said Aulas.

"Now, it is true that the market is very surprising, just look at the news coming from Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United. It's left me perplexed.

"Nobody is assured of their place.

"If Karim were to leave, I would like it to be to Real Madrid."
