Man Utd, Barcelona given encouragement in Benzema pursuit

Olympique Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas has taken a leaf out of Manchester City's book and slapped an €100 million price-tag on star striker Karim Benzema.

The France forward has been linked to a number of clubs, but his agent insists that there has been no contact.

"I haven't spoken to any club," Karim Djaziri said. "Not Inter, not Barcelona, not Manchester United. You'd have to ask Aulas about the offers he may or may not have had."

However, Djaziri confirmed that Benzema would welcome a move.

"Karim has always said that he wants to go to a club that will allow him to win trophies," he said. "So, as long as it's a prestigious club, he could go anywhere . . . England, Italy or Spain."
