Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has been linked with a possible £25 million switch to Manchester United from the Bernabeu.
It has been speculated that Sir Alex Ferguson has renewed his interest in the French international following his initial failure to secure the striker’s signature from Lyon last summer.
The Spanish giants out-bid Ferguson to land Benzema for £31 million but it is reported that Madrid now want to offload the player.
A swop deal may be of interest to both parties with Man United defender, Nemanja Vidic , a £10 million target for Madrid.
