Inter are ready to offer Lyon €20million plus the services of Amantino Mancini and Patrick Vieira in return for French striker Karim Benzema, according to Sportmediaset.it.

The report suggests Inter are keen on the hitman, who has attracted attention from several major European sides, including English champions Manchester United. Nerazzurri director Gabriele Oriali is set to meet Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas this week in order to make an offer.

However, Aulas has already claimed he would not be willing to sell his prized asset this summer, claiming Benzema has his heart set on South Africa 2010 with France and that a move could hinder his chances with Les Bleus.

In addition, Inter president Massimo Moratti claimed the club would be keeping Zlatan Ibrahimovic. And with Diego Milito in the bag, as well as the possible arrival of Marko Arnautovic, contradicting reports claim Benzema could be extra baggage.
