Paris Saint-Germain 'eyeing Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema'

Paris Saint-Germain could reportedly turn their attention to Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema this summer, if they fail to land other targets.

The French giants have earmarked the 30-year-old as a more affordable alternative to Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, according to Le10Sport.

PSG are expected to face tough competition for Lewandowski, with Real having been strongly linked with the Poland international of late, while Liverpool are expected to resist all bids for their top goalscorer.

Benzema, meanwhile, has found first-team football difficult to come by this season and is said to be keen on a move back to his homeland.

Elsewhere, PSG have also been linked with Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
