Galatasaray after Benzema – report

Reports in the Spanish Press have claimed that Galatasaray are interested in signing Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.

AS have insisted this afternoon that the Turkish side are keen to bring the French forward to Istanbul, as a replacement for Burak Yilmaz.

Yilmaz was on the verge of a move to Lazio over the summer, but is still being watched by the Italian side and several others around Europe.

With his departure seemingly imminent, Roberto Mancini wants to bring in another centre-forward and has set his sights on the Blancos goalscorer.

Benzema has endured a difficult start to the campaign, and has come in for some criticism from the Santiago Bernabeu faithful.
