It's either Italy or Spain for Olympique Lyon ace Karim Benzema.
"My departure is not any news, I will see what to do after the second-leg of the Champions League against Barca," said Benzema. "The ideal thing would be to win this trophy with Lyon.
"Then in 2010 there is the World Cup and I do not want to risk losing my place, I must take this into consideration.
"I'm here in Lyon, but I'd like to play for another big European club like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter or AC Milan."
After all his talk i think its better he does'nt come to Man Utd. Is'nt the kind of player whose loyal, being ambitious is one thing, loyalty is another
Lyon star Karim Benzema has refused to talk about his future, but his president Jean Michel Aulas has confirmed Manchester City failed with a bid to sign him in January.
Lyon face Barcelona next week in the UEFA Champions League, and that has led to further intense speculation in the Spanish press about the striker's future with both Real Madrid and Barca long-term admirers of the French striker.
The 20-year-old would not be drawn on the rumours, saying: "My departure is not topical.
"I am at a great club and we will see what happens after the two matches with Barcelona.
"People are asking questions, but I don't wont to get mad even if I make a decision to leave in June."
But Aulas did confirm that Manchester City came calling in January, as well as reiterating that Barca, Real and City's neighbours Manchester United were all very much keeping tabs on Benzema.
Aulas admitted that Lyon could need to cash in on Benzema.
"Some opportunities don't happen twice," Aulas told Le 10 Sport.
"There are potential buyers for 'products' to be sold. Parting with a player is a strategic decision that has to be made at the right time."
Aulas added that City were the first side to make a move for the highly-rated front-man.
"We had first contact from an English club, a newcomer among the great traders of the transfer market.
"The offer was huge. Barcelona, Madrid and Manchester United are also attracted. But he is a Lyon player so far," he said.
Nah just stay at Lyon la...
If talk abt Henry leaving is true, maybe they might do an exchange next season between themselves.
