Manchester United are thought to be closing in on Karim Benzema of Lyon. Miralem Pjanic, one of the Benzema's team-mates, has claimed the France striker is "nearly gone" to Old Trafford. Pjanic added: "The English club are willing to pay close to 45 million euros (£38m) for him and it is just a question of the day when he will move to England."
It's not just Manchester United fans who are getting excited about the possible arrival of Karim Benzema - Real Madrid are also thought to be close to capturing the in-demand striker. Marca claims the Spanish giants are willing to pay 35 million euros for the Lyon striker, although that's not even close to the 45m United are prepared to pay.
Galatasaray are tracking French winger Sidney Govou (30), who has not renewed his contract with Olympique Lyon and is therefore a free agent.
