Here's the situation on Benzema(IF TRUE). I think it's BS but you never know. These gurus can get one right once in a while:
- There was a meeting with Marotta and cie.
- Benz talked to Valdano and Mourinho about a transfer to Juve.
- Both clubs are at a decision time.
- Juve let Real go for Dzeko. He's free to discuss with Real.
- Real would pay ~36m €
- For that "favour", Real would loan Benz to Juve for free in January and an option to buy at 24.5m €.
- The meeting between Benz and Juve was to define his wages...
- Would take a pay-cut from 7m to 5m+bonuses.
- Platini was fundamental in the player's decision.
