Real Madrid to offer Karim Benzema plus £20m for Liverpool's Luis Suarez?

Real Madrid are reportedly planning to launch a January bid for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, with Karim Benzema as part of the offer.

The Spanish giants have been linked with a switch for the Uruguayan, who expressed his desire to leave Anfield during the summer transfer window.

Despite a reported £40,000,001 bid from Arsenal, Liverpool held their stance and refused to sell the controversial striker, who has scored seven goals since returning to the lineup from a 10-match ban this season.

It is understood that Madrid will test Liverpool's resolve with a £20m bid plus the services of Benzema when the transfer window reopens in January, according to the Daily Star.

Suarez is said to be keen on a move to the Bernabeu.
