Agent says Benzema could stay

June 22, 2009

Karim Benzema has been continually linked with a move to Manchester United over the last couple of seasons but the link has intensified after the departure of both Ronaldo and Tevez. Howver the players agent, Karim Djaziri, believes the French striker may want to wait till after the 2010 World Cup before moving clubs.

“Karim is on holiday at the moment and he is not thinking of moving,” he said.

“He wants to stay in France for another year so that he can prepare for the World Cup and I think that Sir Alex knows this.

“Perhaps he wants to make an offer to Lyon. If that happens, then Karim will think about it, but as things stand, Karim wants to stay with Lyon for another year.”

It is believed that Benzema is worried that a move from France now could cost him a place in the French team.
