Spanish giants to allow Karim Benzema to leave.
Liverpool are set to sign £40 million rated Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema once the season has come to a close and summer transfer negotiations are in full swing, report the Daily Star, with the La Liga giants set to move for Paris Saint Germain’s Uruguayan international Edinson Cavani as a replacement.

The move is set to throw a spanner in the works of the transfer plans of Manchester United, who are heavily interested in former Napoli star Cavani, with the Uruguayan likely to be very keen on a move to the Bernabeu.
With Carlo Ancelotti also having to fit the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale into his system, however, there is no room for both players – meaning that Benzema will be flogged for £40m, likely to Anfield.
