Karim Benzema "happy" at Real Madrid

Karim Benzema has insisted that he wants to stay at Real Madrid "for many years" despite speculation surrounding his future at the Bernabeu.

Los Blancos' pursuit of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has led to suggestions that Benzema could be allowed to leave the Spanish giants in the summer transfer window.

The Frenchman, however, has vowed to stay loyal to Real Madrid, who claimed an 11th European Cup on Saturday night.

"I am happy here and I hope to be here for many years," Benzema told reporters. "I thank the people in Madrid for being there for me and my family. Thanks to everybody because they are part of my life and we are going to be used to winning titles."

Manchester United and AC Milan have both been linked with a move for the forward.
