Reds won't have to break bank for Benzema - agent
Manchester United, 12:19, June 26, 2009 ,
Karim Benzema's agent says Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson wants the Lyon striker but will not pay more than 40 million euros.
The 21-year-old's representative, Karim Djaziri, speaking to Europe 1 last night, also said it was just a matter of time before his client signed for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
"Ferguson wants him, absolutely, but his transfer will not exceed the 40 million euros, I do not believe in it," he said.
"The largest transfer of a 21-year-old player was Robinho's move to Real Madrid for 24 million and anyway, Karim [Benzema] cannot be worth more than David Villa whose value is estimated at more than 40 million euros.
"The question is not if he will sign for one of these large clubs, but when?"
