Manchester United have been linked with a £30m bid to sign Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema this summer, with the Spanish giants ready to offload the Frenchman and use Cristiano Ronaldo as a centre-forward.
Arsenal have also been linked with the former Lyon man in recent months, but a move to Old Trafford could potentially see the Gunners switch their focus to Napoli front-man Gonzalo Higuain.

Valued at a ridiculous price of £67m, according to the Guardian, the Argentine has gained unwanted attention in recent times for some blunders in front of goal, including a skied penalty in his country’s Copa America final loss to Chile, as well as some bad misses in last year’s World Cup final defeat to Germany.
