5 possible destinations for Real Madrid star Karim Benzema

#1 Chelsea

Ideal replacement for Costa?

Although Chelsea have been linked heavily with Benzema’s strike partner Alvaro Morata, a move for the Frenchman looks more realistic. With Perez and Zidane unwilling to sell the talented Spaniard, Conte might look towards signing Benzema in the summer window.

Chelsea’s title challenge has been built around the stunning form of Diego Costa. However, various reports have suggested that the Spaniard has had his head turned by a big money offer from China.

While Chelsea have Michy Batshuayi, the young Belgian is yet to play to the best of his abilities in the Premier League. On the other hand, Benzema has experience of playing and winning multiple Champions League titles and League titles. The Real Madrid star will also not take too much time to settle in the Premier League.

Keeping all these factors in mind, Benzema could prove to be the ideal replacement for Diego Costa at Chelsea.
