Arsenal are reportedly preparing a stunning 50-million-euros offer to sign Real Madrid’s striker Karim Benzema, according to Sports Direct News.

Arsene Wenger looks to take advantage of the abused delivered to the French forward from the Santiago Bernabeu. Though Carlo Ancelotti’s side eased past their regional rivals 4-1 the 25 year old was constantly jeered by a sizable portion of his own supporters.

Benzema has scored four goals so far this season, but that hasn’t convinced Real fans, who are very critical with his performance.

Wenger has tried to sign Benzema in the past and is willing to take advantage of the conflict between the forward and the fans. After signing Mesut Ozil for 45 million euros, this time the French manager could go as high as 50 million.

Arsenal also tried to bring Gonzalo Higuain from Bernabeu this summer, but the Argentinian finally ended up at Napoli. With Olivier Giroud as the only pure number 9 in the squad, Wenger is desperate for signing a world-class striker.

Carlo Ancelotti would oppose to lose his best forward, but a 50-million bid would be hard to turn down. Especially since Luis Suarez and Radamel Falcao are reportedly a target for Los Blancos.

Angel Di Maria has backed Benzema today: “The whistles against Karim were very unfair. Morata also missed a few chances and nobody jeered then – you have to treat everyone in the same way”, he said.

His team-mates asked the crowd to cheer when Benzema was replaced by Morata in the second half. It seems that the players don’t want the French international to leave.
