It's AS...so...
Juve to launch bid for Benzema
Wednesday 15 September, 2010
Juventus are preparing an offer for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, according to Spanish newspaper AS.
The Bianconeri sold Diego and David Trezeguet in the summer, leaving them short of options going forward especially given Amauri and Vincenzo Iaquinta are so injury prone.
AS understands that Benzema would like to leave the Santiago Bernabeu after falling out with Jose Mourinho in pre-season training.
That said, Benzema was a surprise starter against Osasuna at the weekend, appearing on the right-wing where Mourinho used to deploy Samuel Eto'o at Inter.
Juventus would like to take the player on loan in January with a view to permanent transfer next summer.
Benzema was welcomed back into the international fold earlier this month and scored a wonderful goal for France against Bosnia.
