Inter track Benzema
Sunday 21 June, 2009

Inter have identified Lyon striker Karim Benzema as their No 1 transfer target should Zlatan Ibrahimovic leave this summer.

The Nerazzurri want Ibrahimovic to clarify his future before July 12 so they can start planning for next season.

He continues to be linked with a move to Spain and Real Madrid are apparently ready to make him their next signing.

Today Lyon director of football Bernard Lacombe told French newspaper Progres Benzema could leave this summer.

“He is our player, but no one knows what will happen in the future. A while ago we thought Michael Essien wouldn't leave, but Chelsea presented us with a cheque…” Lacombe said.

However, he identified Manchester United as a more likely destination for Benzema than Inter.

“If United have great finances available after the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo and they want to buy Benzema, what can we do?” Lacombe concluded.
