Real Madrid scared and amused by Karim Benzema transfer bid

Real Madrid have been left scared but amused by Arsenal’s bid for Karim Benzema, according to reports.


Benzema has been linked with a move to Arsenal with the France forward struggling to find his best form for Real Madrid.


The former Lyon hitman has mustered just five goals from 17 outings so far this season, with many fans consequently angry at Los Blancos’ decision to sell Alvaro Morata to Chelsea in the summer.


Arsenal, though, seem undeterred with Arsene Wenger desperate to bring the 29-year-old to the Emirates.


But Spanish outlet Diario Gol say that, though the Gunners have launched a bid for Benzema, it has not been well received over at the Bernabeu.


Real Madrid have stuck with Benzema in recent years despite having better options at their disposal.


But the fact remains he is a far cry from the ruthless forward he used to be.


Real have supposedly been told by Arsenal they will not pay a penny over £35million to bring the striker to the Premier League.


And this has been received with mixed results over in the Spanish capital.


Diario Gol claim Real are amused, particularly given how they installed an £886million release clause in Benzema’s new contract earlier in the season.


But, on the other hand, they are also worried.


Benzema has shown little signs of getting back to his best despite having the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Marco Asensio and Isco around him.


And they fear they may be stuck with him if no club is willing to bid big.


Meanwhile, speaking in November, Real boss Zinedine Zidane called for the forward to do more to justify his lofty billing.


"He [ Benzema] is the first one who knows he can give more, because of the confidence issue, especially his confidence in front of goal," Zidane said.


"Strikers maybe need goals for confidence, but he’s playing well, the team is playing well."
