Man City, Arsenal alerted as Benzema agent reveals Lyon sale pact

The agent of Lyon ace Karim Benzema admits he could be on the move in the summer. Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal are among clubs chasing the French star and his agent, Karim Djaziri, told AS that there is an agreement with Lyon's board that he can leave at the end of this season.

Djaziri explained: "This is not an agreement to leave, but to negotiate a series of conditions.

"I think we've taken an honest position with the club, that is: 'I want my club to earn money before I leave'. But Benzema still hasn't decided to leave Lyon in 2009.

"Today's position is for Karim to stay in Lyon. He knows that he is young and is only 20 years old. He understands that in Madrid, Barca, Milan, Arsenal or Manchester it is more difficult to get experience than in France."
