Benzema hints at Lyon exit

by Laurent Picard , 04 June 2009

Premier League target Karim Benzema has declared that he will move on from Lyon if chairman Jean-Michel Aulas accepts a big-money offer.

The promising French striker has committed himself to OL despite the seven-time champions’ failure to retain their title this term.

France international Benzema has been linked to both Manchester clubs, as well as to Barcelona and Real Madrid, and he has stated that he could move clubs if a mega offer was made to his employers.

“I have already said so 25 times: I am happy at Lyon,” Benzema said. “I am going to switch my telephone off, not to follow the news and relax, ahead of the new season.

“If chairman Aulas receives an offer and urges me to go, then I’ll be obliged to.”
