"He wants to propose to Benzema that he finishes his career at Lyon"

The now Lyon sporting director is clear what he is going to do when Benzema is ready to leave Real Madrid and he publically said it on the programme 'OL Night Systema'.

"My wish is to propose to him that he ends his career at Lyon. He is from here and he feels from here, why not make the monetary effort between both parties to make it a reality?", he assured.

Benzema spent 5 seasons at Lyon, where he became very important for the French outfit before making the jump to Real Madrid at 22.

"We will not be able to offer the same salary as Madrid, but we are waiting for the right moment. I did it. I lowered my salary to play for Vasco at the end of my career. With Karim it can happen too", he continued.

Juninho also revealed that he was already trying to get him to come when he was in Brazil and believes it is not a crazy move or too strange.

"We exchanged messages when I was in Brazil and I felt he'd like to come. He has a lot of respect for the club and often goes to the physiotherapist Abdel in Lyon. I want him to come and play with us for two years. Karim can be a leader we need," he said.
