Arsenal could be set to have their offer for Karim Benzema accepted – with Real Madrid wanting to use the money to sign Marco Reus, according to reports.
The Gunners apparently made a £31.3million bid to sign Benzema in the last few days, as Arsene Wenger steps up his hunt for a world class striker.
It was originally expected to fail, with Madrid stalling on the idea of selling the Frenchman, but reports in Spain now claim Real are ready to accept it – and spend the cash on a £63m transfer of Marco Reus.
The Borussia Dortmund man is favoured by Rafael Benitez as he can play in any forward position, including as a false nine.
And Madrid believe the £31.3m from Arsenal for Benzema could act as a perfect down payment on Reus, who is ready to change clubs this summer.
