Real Madrid are reportedly ready to offload Chelsea target striker Karim Benzema for a bid in the region of £40million as they look to raid on Premier League clubs for either Luis Suarez or Sergio Aguero.

The French international, who was a key fixture during Jose Mourinho's term in Spain's capital and is still admired by the "Special One," has been no less than decent for the Los Blancos this season, tallying a total of 24 goals and 15 assists in all competitions, but he will have to make way for the La Liga giants' tradition of snatching the best names in Europe every summer.

The funds that are to be gained from selling Benzema will be a part of the offer to sign Manchester City's Aguero or Liverpool's Suarez.

However, it will be a tough task to lure any of the aforementioned hitmen as they appear to be committed to their respective clubs.

They will have to break the current signing record, should they insist on securing the services of the Anfield man, while the diminutive Argentinean will cost less but will still be expensive.
