Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool are both weighing up January transfer window offers for Real Madrid misfit Karim Benzema, according to reports from Spain.
AS comments that Jose Mourinho is concerned about the former Lyon forward’s ability to provide back-up to first-choice striker Gonzalo Higuain, and has also criticised his attitude in recent training sessions.
It is believed that should a suitable offer be received for the Frenchman, the Portuguese coach would be willing to let Benzema leave in order to fund a replacement of his own choosing.
Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson has previously been linked with a swoop for the 22-year-old while Liverpool are desperate to bolster their attacking options to take the strain from Fernando Torres.
Mourinho has allegedly given the striker three months to prove himself at the Santiago Bernabeu, and if his performances do not reach the required standard, the former Inter and Chelsea boss will look to cut the club’s losses.
Benzema arrived as part of Florentino Perez’s revolution last summer, but managed just 10 goals in 33 appearances.
