Real Madrid are ready to offload striker Benzema to Arsenal for the right fee, Report suggests that Arsenal have to shell out at least £45m for the France international with the saga to drag on till the end of the transfer.
With Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale both being earmarked for a move through the middle there is growing speculation in the Madrid camp that a deal for Benzema may be possible.
Benitez has tried playing Bale through the middle in pre-season to good effect and it is believed that Real President Florentino Perez is desperate for the Welshman to succeed and is looking for the manager to play him in that position for the coming season.
The report states that Madrid may switch to a 4-4-2 with Ronaldo and Bale the front two.
