Karim Benzema: 'Luis Suarez must maintain form'

Karim Benzema believes that Luis Suarez is not yet of the required consistent standard to sign for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has insisted that Liverpool forward Luis Suarez needs more than one good season if he is to earn himself a move to the Spanish side.

Benzema did not break to 20-goal mark for Real last season, which has led to rumours of a move for Suarez this summer, but the Frenchman said that he does not feel under any pressure.

"I sleep well, wake up as well," Benzema told Marca. "Everyone can come and arriving in Madrid is the best.

"I work hard every day to play for Madrid. I have no special pressure, [Suarez] is a great player and has had a great season, but in football, you have to have several great seasons."

Benzema joined Real in 2009 from Lyon.
