Report: Real Madrid to cash in on Karim Benzema

Real Madrid will cash in on striker Karim Benzema at the end of the season, according to reports.

The Frenchman has scored 133 goals in 279 games for the Bernabeu side since joining in the summer of 2009 and is regarded highly by manager Carlo Ancelotti.

However, the Daily Star claims that Real chiefs want to sell Benzema at the peak of his value and use the money to reinvest in a younger, more prolific forward.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all said to be vying for Benzema's services, but would allegedly be forced to part with at least £40m to secure his signature.
