Real Madrid offer Benzema to lure Chelsea’s Cole

Real Madrid have offered striker Karim Benzema to Chelsea in a bid to lure Ashley Cole to the club.

New Real boss Jose Mourinho is very keen to get Cole to the Santiago Bernabeu so has thrown in £30million-rated Benzema plus cash for the England left-back.

Chelsea have been in the market for a quality striker this summer and Benzema could prove to be that player they are after but only if Carlo Ancelotti is prepared to lose Cole.

Benzema struggled under Manuel Pellegrini last season following his move from Lyon and faces a tough task trying to oust Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting line-up.
