Real Madrid are preparing to sell Karim Benzema to Liverpool. The Daily Star says Spanish sources claim Real will use the cash to swoop for Edinson Cavani.

Cavani, 27, wants to leave Paris St-Germain after a falling out with Laurent Blanc.

The Uruguayan is upset he's having to play out on the wing with Zlatan Ibrahimovic being used as the frontline centre-forward.

Arsenal are also interested in Cavani and Real know they will have to move quick to get their man.

Reports in Spain claim Real will flog Benzema to fund the move with Liverpool understood to be interested.
