AC Milan have been urged to sign French striking sensation Karim Benzema by respected football agent Claudio Pasqualin.

The Rossoneri are really struggling in Serie A at the moment and are languishing in 12th position in the table, a gigantic 25 points behind league-leaders Inter.

A key reason for these struggles has been a lack of goals, with Milan only scoring three times at home this campaign.

Filippo Inzaghi has not scored in Serie A since January of this year, Alberto Gilardino has still failed to convince that he is capable to play at the highest level, while Ronaldo has made just one appearance this season due to injury.

This has led to reports that Milan may look to sign a striker during the January transfer window, and Pasqualin believes they should move for Lyon star Benzema.

"It's hard to find the right reinforcement for a team that does not need it,” Pasqualin said.

“The Frenchman, however, would increase the potential of any team."

The 20-year-old Benzema is widely regarded as one of the most explosive talents in European football and he is admired by a host of European giants, including Inter, Juventus, Arsenal and Real Madrid.

Why should we sign anyone if we're still the #1 in UEFA ranking? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have only seen him a number of times but he looked amazing!

He would cost much = we are not going to sign him.

It all makes me sad.

But in all seriousness. We need young dynamic players, and Benzema if signed could turn out to be a great player

I must admit I've only seen his games in the CL and only 1 or 2 in the league, but from what I have seen he doe slook very promising. I'd love to have him.

Probably we would need a record-breaking offer in order to make Lyon release him (remember how much Chelsea and Real paid for Essien and Diarra respectively).

So, yes I agree that we will not sign him.

[pacang]

he's good but yep, he's gonna cost us a lot..

how many members are there in this forum? can we start collecting money now? can we buy him for Milan? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

p/s : they'll face man u in the knockout so when they meet each other, man u will most probably take a closer look at him.. and most probably buy him nx season..

[Tennie]

I think he'd be worth a big cash layout. Do I think it'll happen? Prolly not, sadly.

Benzema is class, though. Very talented young player.

I have a good feeling about this transfer. But recently it appeared that Lyon players are way to overrated. Also, Lyon is one of the tuffest negotiators. Remember Malouda, remember Diarra,.. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I bet this ^*(&*&^% so-and-so has also told Madrid, Barca, Inter and all the other biggies to sign him up too. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It would be a good time to bring him in though, since it would give us the luxury of having a walk in when Pippo and R99 leave. I don't know about skills, you can't tell by watching greatest goals package on youtube.

have no doubt about it. he will be one of the best players in the world sooner than later. He is a terror on the pitch. Wins balls in the air, has quick feet, isnt the fastest, but is powerful and direct near the goal. He is a clinical finisher. He has the potential to be everything Sheva was for us. I mentioned him a couple months ago in a post and would buy his jersey in an instant, just so i had the throwback Benzema jersey. Just look at his record..scores a goal 2 out of every 3 games..and its his first year starting at age 19. and none of his goals look flukey. SIGN HIM! he's a right footed adriano.

Milan Must Pay More Than £25m For Benzema – Lyon

AC Milan have been told by Lyon that they will have to cough up more than £25m if they want to sign explosive young striker Karim Benzema.

The 20-year-old hitman is one of the most wanted youngsters in the whole of Europe with a host of top European teams cueing up for his signature.
Milan are towards the front of this cue and according to the Gazzetta dello Sport have already begun transfer negotiations with his club Lyon.

However the French champions have told Rossoneri chiefs Ariedo Braida and Adriano Galliani that the £25m they are prepared to offer will not be enough to sign Benzema.

Milan are in desperate need of some forward reinforcements as Ronaldo has played just once this season due to injury, Filippo Inzaghi has not scored in Serie A for almost a year, while Alberto Gilardino has shown little sign that he is capable at starring at the very highest level.

One good sign for the European and World Champions is that teenage wonderkid Alexandre Pato will be eligible to make his debut for the club when Serie A resumes after the winter break on January 13.

Good idea, but I'm afraid we cannot donate more than 1% of his price!
