Liverpool are nearing closer to a £38million deal to sign Real Madrid striker and Arsenal target Karim Benzema, according to the Daily Star.
The French international was heavily linked with a move away from the Champions League winners in the summer, with Liverpool and Arsenal amongst the clubs interested.
In the end he opted to stay at the Bernabeu, signing a new long term contract in July.
But reports in Spain suggest both clubs remain interested in signing the 26-year-old, with Brendan Rodgers said to have already held talks with Real chiefs over a January switch.
The Spanish giants have told Rodgers he can sign Benzema for a fee of £38.8million, with the forward understood to be unsettled and considering his options.
Rodgers is keen to sign a new striker after a poor start to the season which sees Liverpool sitting 14th in the Premier League table, and with a win and a defeat in their Champions League group.
Benzema could well be the man to save their season, with the former Lyon man having scored 113 goals in 243 appearances for Los Bloncos.
Year now rodgers is thinking smt
it’s time for mario to step aside and give chance for lalana
Wow good dicission by BR i would love to see liverpool taking it as the first priority in january.
would be n great signing but the problem is bigger then that why not buy n quality holding midfielder bench Stevie work on defending set pieces or do the simple thing bring back Lori and put him in defensive midfield come on why sign these guys and loan them out I’m shocked just look at ibe even he can play as n striker ynwa come on lfc
I have seen most of our problems is in the fore front,we dont have potential to shoot when we creat the chance,with BENZEMA link and if the deal is done in january we going to see goo improvement infront.common BR take it as the first priority in january.

I wonder who and what is Barotelli,what does he for in lfc yet last season he has 30goals just one below L.Suarez,and to the rest of the new signingslfc is not for the laziest,you better go home
now Rodgers is thinking but that fucken Balotelli and Gerrard must be beach. Gerrard and Balotelli have make the work difficult…… But Rodgers who must be blame for all this problems. Becos he must beach Gerrard as they call him ‘foolish’ captain fantatic.
In my opinion, gerrard should only be moved to attacking midfield, he can create, shoot, and can score good goals upfront…but sitting him deep in the midfield made his work go unnoticed…
were ni srike pls br pls
