REAL MADRID SIGN OLYMPIQUE DE LYON FORWARD KARIM BENZEMA
Spanish daily “Marca” has just announced it, now another Spanish daily “AS” has announced it & it looks official. REAL MADRID has come to an agreement with OLYMPIQUE DE LYON for the services of 21 year old French International forward KARIM BENZEMA for a transfer price of 35M€ plus incentives for titles & a 6 year contract. Real Madrid accelerated the process after it was rumoured that Manchester United was about to make an offer with the “fresh” money from Real Madrid in the Cristiano Ronaldo operation, an offer of 45M€ but Benzema wanted to come to the Spanish Club & his Club supported his wish.
This obviously shuts the DAVID VILLA – REAL AMDRID saga, & opens the door for FC BARCELONA to sign Villa. Once again, strategically & tactically speaking, Real jumps a few steps ahead & steals the limelight from FC Barcelona & making it seem that David Villa chooses Barça because his first choice Real Madrid was foiled, or said vulgarly, Barça picks up the scraps. SFS opinion is that in the last days David Villa changed his mind & gave Barça his Ok & to limit the "idea" that Real Madrid had failed the signing of Karim gives them the arguement that Villa was never a TOP priority for Real & they always had alternatives.
Being what it maybe, there are soooo many stories, Villa is a grand asset for any Club & for Barça if he does sign , but Football is all about image, the media & all these other elements extra-Football
By the way, excellent signing by Real Madrid, Benzema is young & has an excellent future. Real is hoping he will explode at their Club, I´m sure he will.
