United to make record-breaking bid for French striker
Manchester United are set to make a record-breaking bid of £30 million for Lyon striker Karim Benzema. The French striker has long been linked with a move to the Premier League after impressing for Lyon during the sides match against Sir Alex Ferguson's men.
Benzema, 20, is widely regarded as one of Europe's hottest properties although it is thought that he wants to stay at lyon for at least one more season. But Ferguson is expected now to make a £30 million bid to tempt to Lyon to let Benzema leave the club.
I personally would love to see Benzema in the Premier League although I can't for see it happening this summer. He is a terrific talent with a superb finish on him and he would be a great signing for any of Europe's top clubs. I do feel however that £30 million may be a bit much for such a young player.
