Tal y como adelantaba hoy el diario MARCA, el acuerdo entre el Real Madrid y el Olympique por Karim Benzema era cuestión de horas y ya se ha cerrado. El conjunto blanco subió la oferta a 35 millones y el Olympique de Lyon la ha aceptado. El Real Madrid lo hará oficial entre hoy y mañana.
BREAKING NEWS Lyon Deny Deal Done With Real Madrid For Karim Benzema
There is no deal in place for Karim Benzema to join Real Madrid...1 Jul 2009 12:48:03
Olympique Lyonnais have dismissed reports in Spain that they have struck a deal for Karim Benzema to join Real Madrid for €35 million and stated that nothing has been decided.
AS and Marca, along with several other media outlets, declared that an agreement was in place and that the 21-year-old striker would become Los Merengues' fourth major capture of the summer.
But Lyon have denied that any such accord has been made and reiterated that while they have received offers, they have not accepted anything and have yet to speak to Benzema.
"We have received an offer of substantially more than the quantity that has been reported," the Ligue 1 club's director of communications, Olivier Blanc, told L'Equipe.
"But nobody has ever said that it came from Real Madrid. There has been no agreement made with anyone."
Manchester United are also said to be in the race and Blanc's revelations could indicate that it is in fact the Red Devils that have made the substantially larger offer for the player.
Madrid are keen on Benzema, but the early reports that a deal had been struck do appear to be wide of the mark as Lyon could well remain patient to ensure that they receive the best possible price.
The player himself has also previously stated that he wants to remain with his hometown club for one more season, leading up to the World Cup Finals next summer.
Lyon confirm big-money bid for Benzema

Olympique Lyonnais have confirmed they have received a substantial offer for star striker Karim Benzema but insist there is no agreement with Real Madrid or any other club.
French and Spanish media reported on Wednesday that a €35m deal had been agreed with Primera Liga giants Madrid but Lyon's director of communications insists that is not the case.
"We certainly did receive an offer of a sum appreciably superior to the sum that has been mentioned, but nothing says that it comes from Real,'' Olivier Blanc told L'Equipe. "There is no agreement with anyone.''
Earlier on Wednesday, French radio station RMC quoted Benzema's agent as saying only personal terms needed to be settled before the deal was complete.
Meanwhile, Spanish newspapers Marca and AS both claimed the highly-rated 21-year-old would shortly join £80m Cristiano Ronaldo and £56m Kaka in Madrid as president Florentino Perez continues to build a new team of galacticos.
Benzema is due to return to training with Lyon on Thursday and will sit down with Les Gones,/i> officials and discuss his future with club.
However, Lyon's director of communications insists they have not agreed to sell the France forward.
"We certainly did receive an offer of a sum appreciably superior to the sum that has been mentioned, but nothing says that it comes from Real," communications director Olivier Blanc told L'Equipe.

Transfert de Karim Benzema au Real Madrid
L’Olympique Lyonnais informe d’un accord avec le Real Madrid sur les modalités d’un transfert de son attaquant international Karim BENZEMA pour un montant net minimum de 35 M€ auxquels pourront s’ajouter différents bonus liés aux performances sportives, permettant d’atteindre un montant maximum de transfert de 41 M€ net.
Il y a quelques jours, Karim BENZEMA a informé le Président Jean Michel AULAS de son souhait de rejoindre plus rapidement qu’il ne l’avait envisagé initialement le club madrilène qui a toujours eu sa préférence après l’O.L.
Le joueur a souhaité saisir ainsi l’opportunité que lui offrait le Real Madrid d’être l’un des éléments majeurs de sa nouvelle politique ambitieuse autour de certains des plus grands joueurs mondiaux.
L’Olympique Lyonnais a accepté la décision de Karim BENZEMA et il a négocié les conditions d’un transfert qui donnent satisfaction aux différentes parties.
Le club souhaite à Karim la plus grande réussite avec le Real Madrid qui bénéficie pour développer son ambitieux projet sportif de dispositions législatives (notamment en matière de sponsoring, jeux et paris en ligne avec Bwin) mais aussi fiscales et immobilières (fiscalité des sportifs étrangers et valorisation foncière privée pour le stade) incomparables avec la situation en vigueur actuellement en France pour le sport professionnel.
