The Chinese Super League has completely shaken the foundations of the game we love and it will be no surprise if the Frenchman joins a long list of superstars making big money moves to the newly emerging league.
One of the CSL sides, Tianjin Quanjian even confirmed that they had made a bid for Benzema in the January transfer window:
"We need an out-and-out striker so we made a bid for Benzema. We also made an attempt for [Monaco striker] Falcao.” said owner Shu Yuhui.

While a deal for Benzema could not be agreed upon this window, the talented Frenchman might well earn himself a handsome salary by moving to China in the summer transfer window.
Also, a signing of Benzema’s calibre will definitely raise the profile of the burgeoning Chinese Super League.
