No Barcelona approach for Benzema

by Laurent Picard , 09 June 2009

Karim Benzema is yet to be approached by Barcelona, his agent has revealed.

French goal-machine Benzema is believed to be a target for Josep Guardiola’s Barca, but Karim Djaziri has denied that the Camp Nou outfit have made an offer to Lyon.

The forward’s representative understands that Samuel Eto’o could be heading away from Catalonia; as a consequence Benzema could be his successor.

The Frenchman is not the only striker to have been linked to the Blaugranas, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also believed to be an option.

“Barca is the biggest club,” Djaziri said on Rac-1. “Their players are great.

“Nobody has called me, but at the moment Benzema going to Barcelona is just a rumour.

“As far as I am concerned, I understand that Barca will speak with Samuel Eto’o before searching for another striker.”
