Olympique Lyon star striker Karim Benzema has admitted that he dreams of playing for reigning Spanish champions and European giants Real Madrid.
The soon-to-be 21 year old French international striker has emerged as one of the hottest properties in European football and transfer speculation surrounding him aplenty. He has been linked with moves to several major European clubs, including reigning Premier League and European champions Manchester United and Real Madrid.
But Benzema has always stated that he wants to remain at Lyon until for the rest of the current season. Yet he has now been quoted by Le Buteur as saying that he would like to feature for the mighty Real Madrid sometime in the future.
He said:
“It is my hidden dream in sport and it is a dream that is coming closer little by little. I like the white kit, the stadium, the atmosphere that exists around the Bernabéu…I promised my mother that one day I would play for Real Madrid, and I want that to come true.”
