Time’s up

Benzema was one of the worst players on the pitch for Madrid, and the board has lost its patience with him. Zidane too is not happy with the striker's recent form and has agreed to let go of the Frenchman in the summer.

Arsenal and PSG are reportedly interested in signing the striker this summer and are waiting for the Los Blancos to quote their price for him. Madrid are said to be looking for around £40 million for him and want to get rid of him as soon as possible now.

Real Madrid have made Paulo Dybala their #1 target for the summer and are ready to offer £120 million for him. They are also thinking of adding Benzema to the deal as a sweetener.
