Juventus to bid for Real Madrid star

Juventus are pondering a January move for Real’s Karim Benzema as they search to add more quality to their front line.

Having sold David Trezeguet to Hercules, the Bianconeri are now looking to reinforce the attack with the French international, especially with neither Iaquinta nor Amauri pulling their weight this season.

According to reports from Spain, Karim Benzema is hoping to leave Santiago Bernabeu after the bust-up with Jose Mourinho during pre-season, even more so after failing to command a starting place at Real.

Juventus will try to bring the forward on loan in January, with a view to making the transfer permanent next summer.
