Benzema unclear of his role at Madrid as Arsenal lie in wait

The option of Cristiano Ronaldo playing the number nine role and Bale as a playmaker could condition the Frenchman’s role at Madrid, and his possible exit.

Reports in the English press claim Karim Benzema could be an Arsenal player next season. AS already reported that the Gunners have 65 million euros ready and, although Arsene Wenger has kept silent on the matter, the wheels appear to be set in motion. The British bookmakers also have decent odds on the Frenchman playing in London next season.

A leading English daily recently printed that the operation is already under way, despite Benítez’s repeated claims that Benzema would be staying in Madrid. The France international is keen to see his exact role with Madrid in theopening games of this La Liga campaign, particularly with talk of Cristiano Ronaldo starting as the designated number nine and Gareth Bale as the playmaker. This could convince Benzema that his future lies with his compatriot Arsene Wenger, and the move would also see him reunited with former Madrid team-mate Mesut Özil.
