Blow for Arsenal and Chelsea as striker target looks set for Real Madrid stay.Arsenal and Chelsea look set to be dealt the blow of missing out on Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, according to Fichajes.net.
Both sides are known to be in the market for new strikers this summer, with Chelsea already close to sealing the £32m signing of Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid, but Benzema now looks set to stay where he is as he agrees a new contract at the Bernabeu.
The former Lyon man had looked like demanding unreasonably high wages to put his Madrid future in doubt, but an agreement now seems to have been reached for the French international to extend his stay with the Champions League winners.
Benzema has 111 goals in 235 appearances for Real Madrid.
